Driver Bottom Leather Seat Cover and Pad Install

[89Suburban]

Does anyone know the proper placement for the A/C vent into the foam in the front? I followed much of the info on this thread, but I misaligned something with the ventilated seats. No cool air coming up my crack..

The guts of the foam seem to have some kind of a plastic liner that may act as ductwork. I absolutely ripped a small amount of this off during disassembly.

Thanks in advance for any info provided. I've searched everywhere & can't seem to find any relevant info.

Look on seatshop.com and see if they have any info or vids.

I have a few pics from when I did my driver's lower cushion.

Thanks for the photos. I wish mine was this straightforward. The vent on my 12 Yukon Denali comes up in the front of the foam & doesn't have anything near as defined as your setup.

Any step by step on how you removed that while the seat remains in car?

The trim where the seat adjustment is needs to come off. Then you will see the leather wraps under and attaches to the seat frame with plastic 'u' channel clips. The clip is double sided so you can use a screw driver to pry the clip away from the seat frame. Get all 4 clips released, then you pull the leather and foam up and out at the same time.

Take a look at the photos I posted earlier in the thread. 4 bolts hold the seat in. Far easier to remove the seat where you can turn it on it’s side To access both side clips etc. Side access very tough o my Z71, in any event you will be on your knees the entire time.

Seen a few videos . The Pros remove the seat and I’m sure it saves time and prevents scratched up and sore hands.

Does the trim just pull off with tabs? Or are there screws for it?

I forget of the trim just snaps on. If I remember correctly, there are tabs that you pry off first. I can't remember what's under those tabs though. I will try and get a better answer for you today.
