Gentlemen, I watch a lot of RUclips videos to help me with my DIY projects and I got to tell you that your RUclips videos are among The Best I've ever seen. Your 3 part series made replacing the seat cover on my 2006 Escalade a breeze. Thank you for sharing your expertise and wonderful professionalism.
I work at an automotive upholstery shop in upstate NY and our company has used you products several times. You have a great product and everything fits perfectly. I wish they would order more from you. Trying to repair the foam really sucks.
Thank you for the support, we're happy to hear you're pleased with our products! Agreed, repairing the foam is really difficult, it's just better to purchase a new one instead! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions in the future!
A great how-to video with attention to detail where it matters most: Like how to tilt and rock panels to ease reinstalling, and sensitive parts to watch out for that can easily break etc. This is the tricks of the trade of professionals that you won't find in any instruction manual. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and posting it.
Thank you guys so much for these videos. You might to have a Donation section. I got the seat out with no problem, just two connectors. Got the seat into the garage and that's where I needed rubbing alcohol and 2 boxes of band-aids. Now I know the guys who made these connectors were on drugs, no two are alike. I lost count of how many were on my Escalade. But counting the band-aides, I'm guessing there where 11 connectors. My grandkids came in the garage to watch me but I think they really came in to collect money. Each grandkid had a Swear Jar and I pretty much filled them up. For part 3, they only made a buck each. But.....without your Videos, I'd still be in the garage.....and broke. Thanks guys!!!!
We appreciate the feedback and support, it means a lot to us! We're glad to hear you were able to complete the install and in terms of the swear jar, you were just being generous to your grandkids, right? Ha! If you ever need help with your vehicle in the future, feel free to reach out and we'd be happy to help!
I haven't done my seat cover replacement yet, but just watching your videos made me confident in doing this myself. I will be ordering a seat cover from you guys soon! Thanks for taking the time and attention to detail!
With y'alls guidance, the install of the seat cover was a CAKE WALK!!!! Hardest part for me was disconnecting the plugs. I'm disabled and can't lift so I had to just lean the seat back (after unbolting it) and do the plugs there. But if you can move the seat to your tailgate, or have help, this is as easy if not easier than changing your oil, not a messy. Again, THANKS!!!!
Thanks fellas for the seat install videos. Great job communicating the process. Thank you. Driver side bottom 2004 Silverado 3500 dark gray. Will need foam and a heater.
You're welcome and thanks for the support! Please click the link below for the configuration options for our 04 Silverado, let us know if you have additional questions. www.theseatshop.com/2004-chevrolet-silverado-ls-or-lt/
Thanks for putting up the videos! Helps make install a breeze I only needed the first one and the beginning of part 2; but all the details are really helpful. My truck looks like it has a new seat now!!!
The Dynamic Duo !!! Thank you all. Got my stuff there at your store and it's all first rate. Can't wait until my seat is like new again. taking 167K back to 0K today.
I have heated leather seats on my 2004, I want to go with a cloth material now. Will it be safe to use with the heaters? If not I will remove the heaters. I am tired of sliding around on leather. Thanks.
i wonder why you didnt trace the opening for the control panel from the old seat cover unto the new cover and save all the scissor trials. Cheers and thanks for this and other videos.
Great video series! Thanks for being there! Question...why do you wait till the seat bottom is reattached to the upper back rest to do the cutting/trimming and installation of the side control panel?
Nice video! Good job! I have one question, is there a side air bag on the one you worked on, and if so, is it necessary to disconnect the battery before removing the seat from the vehicle, to prevent accidental air bag discharge?
Great video. Very informative. Looks like a good quality replacement product. Now im goingvto see if your company offers fabric/cloth replacement skins as well. Thanks guys
@@davidreynolds4684 We're only going to have the leather and vinyl options for the 04 Avalanche, not the cloth. This is due to the material being discontinued and being very difficult to get. If you would prefer to stay with your cloth covers, your best option is to check out our install locator for local upholstery shops that may be able to repair them. Let us know if you have any additional questions, we're happy to help. www.theseatshop.com/resources/install-locator/
question: is this same process the same for a caddilac with heated AND cooled seats? the cooling element dont get cold anymore nor does the heated elements it seems... its a 05 platnium edition escalade.. thanks
Just a question for you guys. You keep calling the seat cover vinyl but is it not leather? I know on the website it is listed as leather, but the repeated calling of the seat cover in your video vinyl has me wondering.
Tyler Cobb Hey Tyler! Our seat are a combination of Leather and Vinyl unless otherqise stated. The seating surface is all leahter, the only vinyl we use is in the side skirting, just like Chevy does! Hope this helps!
I want to change the cover on my 2003 Cadillac Escalade 2nd row bucket seat, is it the same as the front seat covers and do you have a video on removing and re installing a new cover?
Hi Miguel, thanks for reaching out, please give us a call at 214-710-2565 also please have your VIN# ready as well as pictures of your seats. Once we talk to you we will give you our company cell phone# so that you can text the pictures there
Question gentleman have any seat covers for Toyota 4 runner 98 basically I checked the website and there was nothing to be found on Toyota, I need both the cushion and the seat cover for both the passenger and driver seats need assistance?
Hi BRAY-BRAY, thanks for reaching out, unfortunately for the 4 Runner we are currently still doing R&D to them to make sure we can match the fit/color/material and dial down installation process before we release our products. It just takes some time to do this and at least at the moment, our option for you is giving you a list of the closest upholstery shops to you that are in our network, to search just use your zip code - www.theseatshop.com/resources/install-locator/
Hello, To whom! I have a 99 Ford Expedition and I could really use your help in the upholstery because the previous owner had kids that Sharpied the in side all over including the seats. Can you please help me restore the Expedition? Please respond thank you.
Hi, thanks for reaching out! We completely understand your situation and will do what we can to help you! Do you have the Eddie Bauer or XLT sub- model?
@@TheSeatShop Thank you so much for the quick response. I have the XLT model. If you'd like I will send you a picture of all that I'm doing to the vehicle. I went out the junk yard and purchased the front seats and I'd like to restore them.
@@tommyboya5439 You're welcome, not a problem! Feel free to send us some pictures of your covers to our email. It's sales@theseatshop.com! After that, we can help you further.
Hi Garry, we are in Allen TX about 20 min north of Dallas, but since we show the install process on most of what we manufacture we can mail our products anywhere they are needed
Show me where you took the seat out!!!!! Everything else was OK but I left the seat in. Then in part three you talk about putting the seat back. I’ll wait for an answer before I start calling you bad names. 😊
Unfortunately, we do not have a video showing how we take the seat out completely. Most of the time it is 4 bolts holding it in the vehicle and some electrical components. You want to move the seat all the way back and unbolt the front of the frame and then do the opposite for the back. Here is a link for the closest video to that: ruclips.net/video/ZeMcdoUNaZE/видео.htmlsi=aLb809Nb9xHaWuF_
nice videos but is it really necessary to charge $200 just for the bottom cover?? thats nuts, $613 dollars to do the whole seat, you could just buy a whole new seat for that much...
Thanks for reaching out, the price will depend on the number of items in your cart but for single pieces the price will be for the material used on the particular vehicle you are needing. If you can get new seats for a better price then, of course, you should go with that option but to get brand new factory matched seats that will be the price. You can also go with the option of getting non-factory matched seats which will be a lot less since the color/grain/fit and material will not be the same as the original. Another option is to go all vinyl, 95% of all OEM leather seats will be a combination of leather and vinyl, you can see the vinyl used in most of the sides of the seat for example where your seat control panel is located, that side of the bolster will be all vinyl and if you are just wanting a good price but still want it to match then all vinyl is definitely an option that used by some customers.
Hi Andrew, thanks for the feedback! We're looking to re-do some of our older videos and touch on a few key points that we missed the first time around. We're going to show more of the finished products when we film this video over again.
Thanks for the comment and understandable, we just figured seeing the entire process of installing the covers would suffice but we will try and show some before and afters in our newer videos.
Thanks for taking the time to show every detail of installation. Really helps!
Best install video EVER!! Thanks so much.

Why don't you guys pre cut the leather where the electric buttons go on the side. Make it easier for the costumer.
I'm guessing they don't pre cut because other vehicles use the same seat that don't have the side controls. Maybe a template could be made?
Probly for the seats that do not have the electric controls.
It’s really easy to do yourself. Just cut to match the hole in the frame
Just cut same size and place as old seat cover. Easy!
Does know what the seatback is? It is NOT the seat, the part your butt sits on. It is the part your back rests against.
Why didn’t you show the finished seat?
