Fixing my TORN UP SEATS for less than $200 - Lexus GX470 Seat Cover Install | Cup Holder Upgrade

- In this video, I show you how I refreshed my front seats using some Coverado seat covers. I never much cared how the seats looked, and they are comfortable enough. I just don't want the rip to get any worse, and I don't want the foam getting wet from rain and become moldy, etc. So I got some seat covers to prolong the service of these tired old seats.

So this is what’s going on. I was moving a box that was thin but kinda long and when I put it in the trunk I had to put one side of it on on the headrest and one of the plastic that holds the headrest metal bars broke.
I spoke to a tech and he said the back panel needs to come off and then replace the piece which is $9. However Lexus will charge me something like $300 to that.
I want to know if anyone has removed that plastic panel which is in the back of the rear seat(2nd row).
Thanks
I’ve never experienced that but I can pin this comment to see if anyone can help
Even a year later still was able to use the discount. Thanks for your discount. Great video as well!
Awesome! I still love these things!!
Yep, just got a GX470 and this is what I will be doing next, I just got 17x9 -12 rims and some beefy tires. Its gonna look sick
To anyone considering buying these at present: they have changed the design. For the worse in my opinion. The sides of the seat backs are split (elastic bands pull them together) and there are fewer anchor points at the base of the back (1 versus 3). And, it looks like the sides of the seat bottoms are smaller/shorter; I can not achieve the full coverage depicted in this video.
Sadly, the full coverage back was a major selling point as far as I’m concerned so…I guess I’ll use them till the elastic gives out
i bought the full set front and back for my 2014 Gx460, they looked amazing , sadly the fitting was horrible , for the front seat there was no clean way to tie them down or feed the straps through where the bottom and the back meet, really wanted to love them ended up returning them
they look nice, going to get these didnt want to go thru the trouble of doing the seats over or paying someone to do it. And with all the seat covers out there online looking for something can be a lil overwhelming. Thanks always appreciate your videos
Exactly how I was feeling! Thanks for watching!
Now that's a knife!
Hahaha got a little carried away there
Thank you. I've been looking for seat covers for my GX. your code save me 15$.
I definitely lol'd at the knife. Holy crap hahaha
😭🤣🤣 too much?
@@lexus_offroad_adventures Don't get me wrong I love knives as well, but I think there might be a better one out there for that job haha .
I need the exact same color you installed on your GX, but it looks like the tan colored Coverado seat covers aren’t available on the link you provided. Do you have another link or source for these covers?
You can get leather seat replacements on ebay for dirt cheap.
Yep, I was also considering that option. It came down to ease of installation and the extra lumbar support on these. Plus, I believe those are about $70 for just the pair of seat bottoms, then close to $200 for the seat back. Not saying it’s not worth it 100%, I just have different priorities and these are like 130 for both full front seats
@@lexus_offroad_adventures you'll also have to make cuts to the new bottoms to fit as well not to mention you need to remove the seats completely. I watched some of the videos and Hawkweye Garage has one doing it and I'd rather spend a little more and do this.
Which model is this? Looks like alpt are out of stock on website?
outstanding
Nice 🎉
Nice video.👍
This is the best
Having a hard time getting seat bottom tabs tucked under the plastic trim. Any tips?
The rear buckles are hard. Have the one that loops through the seat gap ready, or have a friend hold it, then aggressively pull down on the other one after finding it under the plastic. Then bring the two sides together like I showed in the video. The inner one near the center console can be connected outside the seat plastic if you don’t mind having it visible
If it’s the front tabs, those ones just happened easily for me so not sure I’d be much help.
Hello ! Did you also install the cover on the rear seats?
Hi Stephane, I did not, but I may do that in the future because of how well these front ones worked out!
They look padded, do they offer any additional comfort? I wonder if the heated seats can still be felt through the material or not? They look great!
I haven’t tested the heated seats but I’ve heard one guy say it feels like the heaters are on the half setting when they’re set to full heat. Yes there’s a bit of extra padding. They’re comfortable, especially coupled with some seat risers.
does the heated seat functionality still work through these?
It works at probably half effectiveness and takes longer to heat up.
How do you like the seats so far? I’d be interested to see how you like the back seats.
Loving them! I was looking for seat covers for a while and these looked awesome/the price is right. I’ve heard a few people ask about the rear seats so maybe I’ll get some covers for back there as well
Me and probably another viewer only asked because Coveradao is only selling the entire set. I think front and back are $219.
How does airbag situation play into this?
From the website: “the seat cushions are compatible with airbag, seatbelt socket and keep inact functions.” If you need more info, I recommend reaching out to them directly: services@coverado.com
@lexus_offroad_adventures thanks. Good to know. You might have mentioned in the video and I missed it
Seems kind of pointless if there isn't also an armest cover
there are some armrest covers out there as well. Doesn’t bother me nearly as much as the seat.

Wth dude ?
Nice

There are leather REPAIR kits that work GREAT-- wiht a little practice-- go fix some old leather seats in junker vehicles first for practice then do yours and they'll look great.. the ktis are not too expensive either.. and it's EASY..
Yeah I considered it for sure, but didn’t really feel like pulling the seats out and doing all that. Maybe I will at some point in the future but so far, super happy with these
