Who thinks I should tackle the 2nd row as well?
Yes
Can you restore your door panels I put more insulation in
Might as well
I put 2019 2nd row leather seats.... OMG looks awesome
I would say no because no one sits back there, but if you did, opt for the cheap vinyl ones like you previously had.
I used to work as an IT manager at Narricot Industries in Virginia where they made seat belts. There is a testing room where they stretch the seat belts to maximum, and when they break, I jump every time (not used to being in there all day like the others). They test stretch these things to 10,000 pounds! That's right! You can tow a vehicle with these! I did! The weaving machines that make these will run about 5 to 6 inches a minute (more or less). This technique of weaving is called "narrow cloth" (cloth weaving for clothing is called "broad cloth" for reference). They also make tie down straps and parachute straps.
Leaving the leather in the sun for a bit before install and letting it heat up makes this a bit easier as well.
Good tip!
Or you can throw it in a dryer before
Stoked you made this video because I was looking at their stuff for my Yukon.
I have the 2002 Tahoe and I am 100% certain after this video, I’ll be tackling this myself. Awesome vid!
Costs a grand for all that shit if anyone was wondering
Wow a grand to redo both seats wow I truly need to redo all 4 of mine in my 2004 Yukon Denali they are badly trashed and torn form water pouring in my sunroof over the past few years and I need a whole new carpet
The Seat Shop was very nice for sponsoring this video and providing you with top-notch products. You did a great job with the kits provided by The Seat Shop! I'm going to order the same kit from The Seat Shop for my 2006 Tahoe. Hopefully, I'll do as good of a job as you did.
I wish you were huge on TH-cam and could do it full time. Your videos are always really great and to the point. Thanks for the great content over the years
I just found your series, and am working my way down the list performing a number of the tasks as well, having just purchased a *rough* 2001 GMC Sierra.
Thank you for having posted these videos.
I'm going to be replacing the covers on my front seats and cleaning the rear ones, before many other items in the rig, since the seat and steering wheel are your main points of interface with your vehicle.
Great video! You gave me the confidence to do this job on my Tahoe. Was about to spend way too much at an upholstery shop. Thank you! Keep up the great work.
Tahiti! How's momma's big beautiful girl?!
Nice to see you too, Matthew. I'm always so proud to see you get sponsorships and all the love and support.
great job! Definately looks like work, but very impressive as you worked the seams into the seat foam! Mine needs the same thing, think i'll give it a try. Thanks for the video brother
Plz show us the front armrest clip and tool u used to pop out . owner of a 02 tahoe LT
Thanks for the video. I gotta do this for my 03 Escalade.
I just brought a 02 suburban
This is a must do on mine
Good to know thanks
I have a 2001 and a 2004 Tahoe, both have side impact airbags. I noticed you didn’t have side impact airbags? Seats look great!
They look good with the exception of the recess at the top of the armrest on both seats. The fit is decidedly not perfect but it is pretty good.
Must be so comfortable now, maybe a ranch hand bumper next.i suggest putting a dash cam in all your vehicles
Although the seats look good and they seem like quality, my local upholstery shop charged $400 per seat to do the work and install it. These covers from The Seat Shop costs more than a professional upholsterer charged to do it.
I thought the same thing
Do the vent caps. I did on my 2000 Yukon and it made it look soo good. I also did a Escalade rear bumper that was paint matched.
gonna order for my 05 escalade and 14 f350, lsx10 code no longer works but they do give 10% for orders over $500
You can use a steamer on old foam will make them come back to life.
That Tahiti looks Brad spanking new! Next time you need some help give me a yell Matt! Looking forward to seeing what’s next.
Thanks,
DC
Great job on the seats !
Please do a video on the tailgate. I can't open mine on a 2006 Suburban.
Shame they don’t make leather replacements for trailblazers. I would love to redo my interior on mine
Man im Glad you show me this im dam show fix my own slab in Houston
I just did a 6 inch lift as my 37s were rubbing doing a 3 inch body lift next
My 04 Silverado z71 doesn’t have the heated seats. Can I add them easily? I guess I just need to connect to a switch I can do myself. Any suggestions?
The seats look great. However, I wish you would have gone over the lumbar support in detail. When I test drove my car, the lumbar support worked just fine. While driving the car home and fiddling with the seat adjustments, the lumbar popped. The motor works fine, so the problem is inside the back of the seat. Good thing I don't like the lumbar sticking out, but at some point in time I'd like to repair it as I just like everything working properly. Thanks!
8:41 💪
Excellent video Matt...thank you!!
Matt, I’m looking for a hood like yours for my avalanche. Where did you get yours at?
Thanks Dave
i have that same tool box. old school snapon
Man I love this truck . I have to do my seat bottom
Are you able to put seat heaters in cloth seats or is it going to be a fire hazard?
I've got a 95 southern comfort that needs some new leather. Sadly they don't have the maroon color that is is. 😢
Good video man! Something I too need to do for my truck. Appreciate the discount code!
I went to the SeatShop site to check on the stuff for my Trailblazer and they don't have anything.
For the c pillar do you know what is the seat belt torque spec on the torx bolt?
Nice job Matt, great content.
Unfortunately they don't have them for a 94 cavalier rs
did you use the vinyl coverers or the leather ones?
Leather
So my car was stolen for about a year and when I got it back the guy was so fat that every time he got in he couldn't hoist himself into the seat so it got pretty badly damaged and super filthy. So I am wondering if the replacement bottom portion for the driver's seat is actually leather and if it will fit a 2007 Chevy Suburban seat. I personally have never put my feet down into the vehicle without changing to my driving shoes not only to protect my shoes but to prevent any debris from dropping into the carpet covers.
I'm redoing my entire interior, changing colors as well. So while I will be doing seat cover swaps as well, I'm going to want to change seat belts (from tan to black). So I was hoping there would be more video on the seat belt mechanism, but I suppose it's manageable for me to deal with. Some generic aftermarket seat belts should suffice and I can do a little fabrication if need be for securing it where it needs to be. If someone is aware of a video tackling this, I'd love to get a link!
Wait why didn’t you put new inserts in the other seats? Like you did for one seat but not the other
What do you mean by inserts? The heating pads or foam? I changed the heating pads in both seats. I only change the driver side lower foam because the passenger seat didn’t get sat in enough to need replacement.
Great video thanks!
Outback spotted!!!! @lsxmatt
Hey man How are the seats holding up a year later?
How much that cost? 2005 chevy suburban 1500 lt. Same color and seats.
You can still get the carpet from the dealer.
My 2005 Tahoe has cloth seats. Can I upgrade to leather seats like yours? I really dig your Tahoe, it looks vwry nice.
Sure can, same process just order the leather covers.
Hey Matt how can I order my front seat cover for my 2003 escalade
These are good trucks.
Just subscribed, nice video...thanks. p.s. just got a 03 suburban 2500 with cloth seats and might have to switch over to leather
Just keep tapping 8:41 you will thank me later!!!😂😂😂 🥜
Hey love the video helps a lot ❤️ and what key fob did you get?
How much par for all seats cover
Is the original seats actual leather or is it a vinyl?
The surfaces are real leather the sides, headrest, and armrest are vinyl.
I couldn't do this without saying ricardo montelban rich corinthian leater. Anyways I'm just here watching to put in a seat heater. So maybe another time I watch the back part.
I have 05 Tahoe with 208
Awesome video man! I'm about to do my 2002 Avalanche. Also, if you have airbags in the seat, don't forget to pull the airbag fuse, wait a half house and then pull the harness. What is the model of that Milwaukee impact wrench you were using to get the seats out?
Have you thought of getting tow mirrors?
Should should make a car washing video from prat house only
Louis CK's skinny twin. lol
Are you to good for your home lmfao haha. Did washing the seatbelt's make them retract better?
Great video!!
If you would have put it out in the sun for a little bit it would have helped soften up the leather and you wouldn't have been having a hard time trying to get it on
Weary good👍
Sweet. I have the 2006 suburban with the PEWTER color. I definitely need to do my seats. Love my suburban, but carpet kit and seats getting done will make it like new again. Since we will only put 2-3k miles on it per year, I went with the cheaper and not the full leather you used in this video. Just cant justify spending 1k on all the seats with how little we use the Suburban now. Got seat out and apart waiting on the delivery of the new cover now. I would NEVER do all this work without replacing the foam padding as well. If you are taking the time and spending the money, do it right. You can almost guarantee your foam pad has fone to shit if your leather cover is also all worn out. Nice video. Edit: OK, to add on my above post, I did this on the bottom seat today. I got the cheaper ones from Ebay... they did not come with the velcro. I replaced the foam pad also. I followed this video and I did the seat by myself. It went on pretty well, although it does take some work. Once it started going on, it seemed to go pretty easy. I sat on it when done and WOW, cant believe how different it feels with the new pad. I dont care if your foam pad is not that bad, if you have a 14 year ol, or older vehicle, that foam is warn to hell. The new foam is so much more firm, I love it. IM gonna copy something I found as when I ordered my cover, it came with the wrong color even though I used the code from the glove box. Please read before ordering your new covers. Interior Trim Code 922/92I
Here’s the deal…The 922/92I trim code for the 2000, 2001, and 2002(mine is a 2006, and this applied to my vehicle) Chevy Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, and Yukon XL can be a little tricky to interpret. We get a lot of calls about what color leather is actually in the truck. Unfortunately between the year 2000 - 2002, GM tied 2 different colors of leather to this one trim code. You can either have Shale or Pewter leather seat covers. The “trim” will always be pewter “grey.” “Trim” is the molded plastic panels on the side of the seat (like the panel that houses the electric seat controls, etc.). If the leather color matches this grey trim, you will have the pewter leather. If the leather color is a lot lighter than the pewter trim, you will have the Shale leather. Shale is like a cream/khaki color. A lot of our customers refer to shale as a “light grey” color. I think this is because the pewter “grey” trim makes the leather appear more like a grey. At any rate, if you do have the 922/92I trim code, just make sure to look at the leather against the pewter trim pieces to determine which color you have.
Tahoe is looking awesome 👌
It will cost me $640 just to do 1 seat. If i go to my local upholstery guy he will put new real leather for $300 for 1 seat
Did you just apologize for sweating on your seats?
A great vid !!!
There website is asssssss !!!!!!!! I was hyped up about getting new leather seat upholstery and they don’t have shit for a 2012 Ford F-150
Discount code doesn't work anymore... poopy
I can't be the only one who thought: "The only way the driver's seat gets wrecked like that, is from reaching back to stop your kids from fighting in the car.". Right?
McDonalds, Golden Corral, Hibachi Grill all u can eat played a part….😂
That yellow foam... that's a combination of general mildew, humidity, and ... ASS SWEAT. Yummy! LOL
16:16 - a Billy Madison quote eh?
Man I love your attention to detail. I have the exact same Tahoe as yours, but with a bit more miles. Trying to slowly fix things over time and your channel definitely helps me out. Keep it up!!!
Man I need that box u got. For my Denali. I see it's not cheap I looked them up. Looks good tho.
She's looking good Matt! I'm about to order my seats with the discount code, lets gooooo!!
Broooo finally a Tahoe video I love your videos man keep them coming ❗️❗️
Thanks for making these videos, man. I'm thinking of getting a Tahoe of this generation for my next vehicle and your videos make me feel a lot more confident about me making any needed repairs or upgrades.
Luckily the previous owner had most of the panels reupholstered, but I'm pretty rough on seats lol so these may come in handy eventually.
I priced mine with seat shop then went to local katskins dealer same price but katskins installs it
How are those katskins?
Yeah I priced the factory recovers and are pricey as sh*t
Great job Matt. Little tip--to find out which color you have, pop your headrest off, flip it over and pop the plastic tab open. There'll be a white tag telling you what color the seats are--Pewter, Med Pewter, neutral etc. Just makes it easier. Using the vin is great--but doing this will tell you the color right away.
Anybody ever tell you that you sound like Ray Romano? Lol. Really good work. I always love what you do to your Tahoe, looks super clean!
i just commented that then saw this lol
First 2 second's I did
Looks great. Look for some used weather tech mats on FB marketplace. I see tan ones all the time.
I was thinking of getting those!
@@lsxmatt Do it man. They saved the carpets in my Honda Odyssey. You know, minivan life. I heard maxliner's are just as good and cheaper.
I got a set of grey ones for my Yukon. Holy shit what a difference. It's saved my carpets more than a few times and look great
As much as I have no interest in the Tahoe, this is a really good video.
Look at the red lol someone died in this thing
2nd generation z71 is a timeless machine the best tahoe ever produced just perfect
Yes it is , ❤
Seats look really good.now is you need to replace that trim that’s on the seat control .l also have a 2004 Chevy Tahoe LT model got it two years ago in good shape,red exterior beige leather interior also.
i just bought a 2001 tahoe for $500 im planning on completely revamping it im pretty excited but it definetly needs alot of work. other than that it runs and the battery holds a charge and it also make no noises so im pretty stoked.
I also got a Tahoe 2003 for 1800 as a project, I’ve owned it for 2 weeks and I initially fell in love with it , in the past I’ve had minivans and Silverado trucks . But this is a mix of both and is much comfortable than both . Have fun on bringing your Tahoe back to life .
Your video ended up being the most useful one especially on the part where you use your knees,without that part clipping the front was almost impossible to do
Thank you!
I love watching videos on the Tahoe. One of the best looking older Tahoe’s out there. Great job I love the transformation please try and make more videos on the Tahoe.
Thanks and will do!
Awesome vid my dood! I so want to get this done on my Yukon Denali. My seats are trash. When I do, will still use this video ref! Thanks man.
upgrade your interior Halogen Lights to LEDs Thats Gonna Make a Huge different , Like The Doors and the Dome lights
Could I also use this method to change the color of the seat too?
Perfect happy Gilmore moment 😂😂😂
Love the Tahoe 👍
Yoooo
