Replacing My Seat Leather

latvius · Feb 8, 2025

Scuffed up the black controls for some paint and scothbright padded the plastic trim to get rid of that blue.

Everything went super easy EXCEPT these armrest covers OMG I give up. I emailed seatshop to see if they have any other advice or to recommend a upholster shop to let them do it. I don't understand why you don't remove the old leather but I guess they have a reason.

I could just repaint my existing ones as the only problem with them was the color but I bought new since they didn't cost that much.

Nice work! I did my driver and passenger seat bottoms using The Seat Shop stuff - spendy but good quality and a perfect match. Found stretching the front leather over the foam to click the connector in place the hardest part.

Seatshop gave me a business near here in Dothan where they collaborate with so I am gonna take the armrests there.

My wife wants new seat leather in her Denali now, they are not torn or anything but 20YO so if it keeps me from having a car payment I am all for it.

I also found new seat foam on ebay for $50 for the front set, that is a LOT cheaper than $145 for one at the seat shop. I wonder how different they are?

Crazy the differences in prices for seat foam cushions. From $67 for both to $159 for one...why the difference?

Excellent work, I just replaced the WT cloth in my 00 Silvy with quite literally the cheapest "pleather" upholstery I could find on eBay lol. Needless to say, it doesn't look anywhere as good as the Seat Shop stuff.

I will definitely go this route with the wife's Denali. I don't care as much about my daily, but for hers I would absolutely foot the bill for that fitment and quality.

Yeah I'm sure what the guy used on mine was a cheap seat bottom and it lasted a whole year before it started cracking. Seatshop is worth the money especially if it keeps you from buying a new car LOL.

My wife wants the Denali redone even though hers has no tears I am going to do it, I look at it as equal to a month or two's car payment if I had a new car so I'll dump a ton of money into it if it keeps us from buying a new one.
