      Having issues getting the PINs back in, any suggestions?

      Yeah, those are tough. I used adjustable pliers to force them back in.

    Thanks for this. Mine is peeling up and I didn't want to start prying at stuff and mess something up. Now also considering changing the color to match my Grey trim.

    Thanks! - I replaced the cover using your video! I ended up have to file the pins down to help reduce the pressure needed to insert them back when replacing. My cover was much thicker than the original but it seems to work ok.

    What staples do you use ? The standard sized ones are too long and the shorter length ones are too weak to penetrate the hard plastic

    FYI - on my 2010 Lexus RX 350, after taking out the 2 screws, the armrest just slides out rearwards - no need to remove the rear panel etc.

    This video was very helpful, but the leather is more tanner than the rest of your leathers interior. I got the same Lexus RX 350.

    Your staples are barely penetrating and will most likely come apart within the first year of use. Otherwise nice job.

    • @DIYtimeTRD
      @DIYtimeTRD  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Yeah. Not sure if it the plastic was too hard or my stapler too weak, but re-done the loose ones off the camera. Just didn’t want the video time-lapse to be too long. No one has time for that.

    A steamer, staples, a cushion if needed, remove a bunch of clips, pins, see if it fits...... what a messy job.
