I followed along and changed my foam in less than an hour.
I had to use my old seat cover because it was cloth, but it is still in good shape, so it worked out.
The seats are definitely firm, more than I would like, but the bolster is solid and they will break in with some time.
I just ordered more foam for some fleet vehicles.
A+
Hey guys, Dan from Puerto Rico USA is an excellent video, and yes, like the pro mentioned, you need a helper.
Order arrived at my house FAST. I installed my new foam cushion, seat heater, and all leather cover on the driver's seat in my 05 Suburban in about five hours start to finish yesterday. The videos are a HUGE help. It looks great. The scrubbing bubbles tip worked perfectly although I would add a "rinse step" with plain wet towel and then dry with another towel. Wow the dirt and grime that I removed! My forearms and hands are a bit tired today! Getting the cover plastic channel pulled pver and clipped on and secured was a JOB but I got it done!
We appreciate the feedback and are glad we were able to help you out! Yeah, getting the clips on is one of the more difficult steps of the install but you got it done and that's great! If you happen to have any before and after pictures of your seat covers that you would like to share, please feel free to send it to sales@theseatshop.com - thanks again!
I just replaced both leather seat bottoms on my 2003 GMC Sierra Denali and the heating element on the driver's side. I would have not been able to do it without your tutorial videos. Thanks for producing these "how to" videos. I will point out that if anyone is replacing the heat element, like I did, on the driver's side, the plug on the Dorman replacement heater is on the wrong side for the passenger side. You have to remove the the black tape from the wiring harness and move the heater plug to the other side in order to plug Dorman element in. Other than that, everything was a perfect fit.
Nice job guys! I need to replace my leather cover and now I know where to go to find out how. I'd be lost w/o this video!
He beatin the hell out that seat... Great video...
Your video was a big help installing the new cushion & cover on my 07 Silverado classic. Thank you.
Glad we were able to help you out with your seats!
Looks like a blast! Think I might give it a try.
2:34 Just did mine. Put a piece of wood across those galvanized frame rails, put some padding on it and then kneel on it. You have to crush the foam down and you will still have to crush the edge foam with your hands as you twist the cover clip on.
Thanks for this tip!
This was easily the most difficult part of this install for me. I bought the upgraded pad and it is not as forgiving as the OEM. It took all of my 200 lbs to mash the foam, then I had to pull and stretch the leather to get to a position to roll... I picked the wrong day to fast.
This shop is great. I'm on my 3rd seat cover and first foam + cover. The videos are first rate as are the prices and quality of the covers. TIP: go all leather, top and sides, not just top only like OEM.
i guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Torin Adrian Instablaster =)
@Adrien Sonny I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Adrien Sonny It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account !
@Torin Adrian you are welcome :D
Just got mine on. Great video!
Received my leather conversion from cloth for a 07 sierra SLE. I have already done the conversion for the rear crew cab and just installed the seat cushion for the front passenger bucket seat cushion. I might have a helpful hint while you do your install. When you get to the front of the seat clip. Since a lot of us don't have the strength (70 year old finish carpenter who used his hands like a vise grip for over 30 years but lost his grip)in our hands like Brian and Hunter (who was very helpful with install) who can bend 1/4" angle iron flat. While bending the clip over on frame I couldn't get it to clip. So I took my plastic hammer and using the red (softer side) and yellow (harder plastic side) with a softer medium blow was able to get the clip to snap in. Also be prepared if you don't have hands with the grip of a set of vise grips, be prepared for some sore hands for a day or two. So if bring your patience and will power if will go on. If a 70 year old can do it then heck so can you. The Seat Shop covers once done look dope. This is my second of truck seat conversion (first one was a 01 F250) from cloth to leather from The Seat Shop. You cannot find a nicer set of people or company to work with. Just a side note about the company. This is actually my third set of covers I have bought from them. My second set I bought were never installed because of a roll over accident with the second truck. I called TSS about exchanging them for the truck I just bought. To my surprise they worked out an exchange that was agreeable to me. These people are awesome from owners to the employees you will not find a better company than them. Sorry this comment is longer than the video but I cannot say enough good things about TSS.
Hey Frank! Thanks for the feedback and the tip! This is definitely something we will consider in the future when making our videos. So happy we could assist you with your previous purchases and please do not hesitate to reach out if you need anything else!
I thought I was going to get this done quickly but hit a road block learning I needed E-Sockets 14 & 20 to remove the anchoring bolts that hold the entire seat in place. Haven’t been able to find a local shop that carry’s those sizes. Anyway I’m forward to installing the covers.
Love you guys! In need new covers just can't afford them yet. Awesome video ! Thanks
Hi Cynthia, we appreciate you reaching out, please let us know what Year/Make/Model and what all you are needing to see if there is any way we can help you out.
2004 yukon front seat covers
Thanks! This was very helpful. However, I was unable to re install the cover in the order they did. I just could NOT get the first edge to roll over and lock when the rear clip was in place. So I STARTED with the seat partially inside out, installed the long front clip, went around the corners, and down the sides. Then I turned the cover right side out, and working from the bottom opening, I got the Velcro in place and clipped the bottom clips.
Try that if you can't get the front started...
Good video
I actually was looking for some help on removing the protective plastic front on my drivers side seat so I could get at the airbag wiring connector. Had you had any experience on this? Its a HHR 09 car and I assume that covering is to protect anything from getting under motorized seat PS your video was great although you have proven one thing, That job belongs to a pro like you guys..
Great video! Just replaced the seat in a 1999 Chevy Silverado. Quick question, What maintenance can I do while the seat is out of the car and upside down as far as greasing the parts?
how do you remove the 3rd row headrest on a 2001 chevy tahoe, I've have insert a paperclip on each hole and it releases the headrest but only goes so far and than it stops. how can the headrest be completely removed. can you post a video on it
This job is 10 times easier when its warm
Could you specify what adhesive to use on the heating element? Mine arrives from you in three days and I want to be prepared. Thanks for the product and videos!

2003 GMC Yukon
Hi and thanks for reaching out, here is a link to our 2003 Yukon options you will just need to select the specs that fit your Yukon if it is a Denali it will be a different link - www.theseatshop.com/2003-gmc-yukon-sle-or-slt/
Is that whole thing leather or sides pleather like that cheap Factory stuff
If only you had covers for my Buick Rainier. The factory part isn't even available anymore
Hi there, we completely understand where you're coming from. However, we base our products off of demand and we haven't had much demand for the Buick Rainier. We would recommend you check out an upholstery shop for repairs, you can find some by clicking the link below.

Hey I have 2002 Avalanche, it says seat covers not compatible but they look identical !! Is there any difference?
Hello, Please email your VIN number to: sales@theseatshop.com and we will verify compatibility for you.
This is great video. Does anyone know a good place to buy a new replacement foam?
how do you sew the plastic retainer to the vinyl? do you have any tricks to soften the plastic so my old consew can do the job? thank you
I just want the lower seat frame so my seat bottom will raise and lower and I can't find that part anywhere. It goes forward, back, tilts the back, lumbar, heater and all works but the bottom of the seat is stuck and won't work because that part is stripped. This means the seat front is lower than the back and it feels like you're going to slide off the front into the floor board. I'd change the seat covers like this and have a new seat but since it's not working completely there's no use fixing a half working seat. 2005 Silverado 1500 LT Crew front driver seat, passenger works fine. Any ideas? Thanks.
Tbh like any older vehicle that doesn't have parts made anymore, first find the gm part number and grind on Ebay, your local craigslist, junk yards etc, and look for a replacement frame with attached components. It sucks but really the only way and be prepared to spend a bit as you may find only the whole seat and you will have to make a decision on how committed you want to be to fix it...also some components, have multiple year fit so check that too.
Do you have a video on removing the seat from the vehicle?
Video 1
Do you sell cloth or know where to find it? Not the whole seat cover just need to cut one area out at the seams and sew a new one in.
Brian. I’m working on a customers 05 Tahoe tonight. I got the new blue foam for the drivers seat as well. Is there any trimming needed on the new foam on the front lower? Having a devil of a time with the front lip.
You shouldn't have to trim, what you can do is make sure you have a clean surface to avoid nicking the cover and flip the frame so the it is facing up. You can then add weighted pressure so that it squeezes the foam and provides you the needed slack. Let me know if that helps or if you have any more install questions.
Its alot harder with new foam on the seat base.
Can I use the original foam with the new covers?
Yes.

Hi Cynthia thanks for reaching out, here is a link to view your 2003 Yukon options, this link is for the SLE/SLT options if you have the Denali option it will be a different link but through here you can choose your vehicle seat options including color - www.theseatshop.com/2003-gmc-yukon-sle-or-slt/
If your are also replacing the cushion as well, does the existing cushion just pop off or are their clips?
Thanks for the comment, so the foam cushion just sits on the frame, the cover attaches to the top of the foam with either velcro or hog rings then it wraps around the foam cushion and clips onto the frame. Please let us know if this answered your question.
Great vid, but I’m hitting the junkyard. Thanks.
Thanks, best of luck to you! If you are unable to find what you're looking for, let us know and we would be happy to help you out!
o did you find what you needed at the junkyard? what was price? These new replacement covers are so inexpensive that it makes sense, to me, to just put new ones on. Suburbans were 50 plus k... a few hundred for new seats is a bargain.
Thanks a ton! can I order my covers from you. Or can you hook me up with a supplier? 2003 Suburban 4 leather captains chairs. 2 need repaired and want them to match.
Out of all the cleaners, the one with the most ridiculous name had to work.
Hey there. Thanks for this info.
I can't seem to find a replacement cloth gray seat cover for my GMC 2003 Sierra driver base. Only leather seems to be made new. Is there a source I'm unaware of?
Hey I know you posted this 2 years ago but I too needed a material seat cover and came across a site that sells the material itself. www.midwestfabrics.com/fabric.html?vehicle_make=64
If one area gets damaged you can cut it out at the seams and have new material sewn in. Just perfect if you get a small tear or cig burn hole.

I got my 2004 Chevy Avalanche driver side bottom with exact match on pattern and dark gray.
@@wilfredgarcia4129 Thanks.
I got a pleather one in the end, anyway.
Why don't you have seat covers for 2003 Hummer H2? I thought the chevy/gmc seats were the same?
They are the same but unfortunately HUMMER's use a seperate design for the seats
Thanks for the feedback! We actually manufacture the replacement foam.
You can go to our website and use the seat finder on the right hand side to choose your year/make/model. When the initial results appear, simply scroll down until you see the foam cushion. If it's easier, you are also welcome to give us a call 214-710-2565. Thanks!
Jaja u never show the blank. Lol
2 man job huh
Hey Walt, thanks for reaching out, one person can definitely do the job but some areas are a lot easier with a second pair of hands
You lost me at 200.00 dollar a peice 😂🤣
