    pretty sure it's totaled

    First thing to is find all invoices/receipts for any and all repairs and parts add extra value to the total claim. Next start looking for Tahoe's in the area with close to same mileage, year, and options (you added or was added) and print the ads.

    Main issue since your Tahoe has airbags and the seats you bought do not have them.

    If I remember right the rear seats are different from a tahoe to a suburban. If the connectors are not the same I would just swap the foam and leather not a terrible job only hard part I ran into was the back plastic panel you can bend the hooks at the bottom.

    If I remember right the Brackets only work on that model of Tahoe/GMT900 but they can order brackets for the newer Tahoe's and put the same bulbar back on. Or from what a police maintenance guy told me they are sometimes a pain to get off, rusted, stripped, or etc.
