Snagged some leathers on here that came off a Tahoe so i put them in and i love them so far...that cloth is gay, and stained with sweat and water etc.

Thought i'd take some pics just to make it easier for anyone else attempting this in the future.

Start with your ugly old cloth bullshit...
4 inverted torx bolts release the seats and a T-45 releases the seatbelt bolt...

Pop this panel to see the seatbelt bolt

Start at the back...you must pull the plastic panel off...i dont know how EC/CC backs look but RC have solid plastic piece, no fancy magazine holders etc..
I just pushed it down to release these 2 top clips

Slide le screwdriver in the slot and pull back on plastic to help you see the remaining clips...a little wiggling and they should pop right off and the panel will come loose.

I dont have headrests so you're gonna want to pull those off...stick something in this little hole and push them up and off..

Next is pulling the headrest mounts out...fuck these guys..1st one came out fine on both seats but the 2nd one was hell...squeeze with pliers and cuss for about 5 minutes and they will pop free through the top of the seat

Back panel open

Make sure to unclip these bad boys which are under the seat where the top and bottom meet...
Unclip all your top seats clips and pull it out a little.
Here is just got all the sides loose and take it off the shoudlers etc..

Have fun with these orange devils...dont rip them with your big fingers or your new cover wont snap in...gently pry them apart to release the blue plastic.

Say bye to cloth

New shit
NewestUpload015.jpg


Flip seat upside down to start on bottom now

Screwdriver or any tool can be used to help pull these bottom clips off...i did the 2 sides and the front and then pulled seat cover off then pull the back part off cuz it was too tight for me to pull off at first..
NewestUpload017.jpg


Got the 2 sides and front first
NewestUpload018.jpg


Then got the last one and pulled the shit off
NewestUpload019.jpg


Get your new shit and put it inside out...start clipping in the little orange clips
NewestUpload020.jpg


Once you clip em all pull the back clip through the seat and then clip all bottom clips etc
Make it nice and tight, punch out any wrinkles and work it till you like it...
NewestUpload021.jpg


Same with top, start inside out

Have more fun with orange clips

Work your way up, snap all orange clips in and then start to work the shoulders
NewestUpload024.jpg


Get it over the shoulders and snap clips back on...**Might need someone to sit on cushion or push the foam in and compress it to help you snap some clips in**
NewestUpload025.jpg


Put mounts back in
NewestUpload026.jpg


Attach black plastic back on

Enjoy your fancy, rich people seats

Forreal. All 3 other cars we have are leather and I hate them. My old suburban was cloth and after I sold it I swore I would always have cloth... leather is sticky, hot, and just nasty to me and so cold and hard during winter...

I'm from Texas and never burn my ass on leather. You must drive butt ass naked. Also leather cleans up way better than cloth and if you take care of it it will stay soft.
 
Well my gfs mustang has black leather and yeah it looks good but when you sit down in the summer it will scorch you... just saying I prefer my cloth over all the leather cars we've owned...
