Bombsquads 05 Denali build..... sorta

I think the metal you feel is the metal rod that's in there that the hog rings are held to. Keeps the leather in place. If the foam was worn, it would look or feel crumbly. Doesn't look like that from the pic.

The metal I feel is in here

If I'm looking at it right, there should be a thin metal rod going down the seam, in the foam, that hog rings attach to. Keeps the leather pulled down and tight to the foam padding.

I ordered a lower leather cushion from a Chevy dealership somewhere in Texas that has an eBay store. The price was good and supposedly it was OEM, but it already has a crack in the side portion. So I’m thinking to replace again. I have heard a lot of good things about the seat shop, so I’m thinking of trying them. Richmond upholstery is another one I’ve heard a lot of good things about and I think they have an online store you can purchase through.

Why not just get the side portion fixed instead of replacing the whole cover? Side panel is vinyl. They all eventually crack.

Because I don’t posses the skills to make the swap happen.

An upholsterer can do it.

It says leather. But I want to make sure it's actually leather and not leather with vinyl

They’re all leather with vinyl, even the factory seats. Leather is only in the wear areas.

Seller is Richmond upholstery. Should be good quality. I’ve heard good things about them.
