This may seem like a lame question, but....Do you need to remove the seat from the truck prior to removing the cover? Or, can you do everything shown with the seat in place? If yes, how do you get the seat out?
Thanks for this video I was going to take my truck to the shop to get it done but after seeing this video I'm doing my self saving me some money 💰 you guys are awesome
You sir are a master in your craft! Excellent video, very informative! It also shows how much is involved in replacing an OEM cover. It really shows that when done right, how expensive it should be. Thanks again.
This was an awesome video. One of the best how to vids I’ve seen in a while. I just replaced my 2014 Silverado seat cover and it went flawlessly! Thank you!!
AMAZING!!!! I just noticed today that my seat cover is starting to split in my 2014 GMC Terrain Denali. After watching this video I have no doubt I can replace the cover!!! Before this video I didn't even know it was possible. I was looking to replace the entire seat!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
@@vssmokinhotbbqronvogel4341 my brother and I went step by step on the video and it probably took us an hour and a half. We moved slow and would watch each step then do it. Our biggest struggles tended to be the plastic trim. Once we got the cushion in, putting it back together was much easier than I thought it would be.
Great video! Do have one question regarding the seat cover types and interchange options. Would I be able to use the perforated lower seat covers in my 2015 Tahoe LT which have the solid seat covers? I dont have the AC seats but thought it might not matter if I only use the heated portion. Thoughts?
Yes, we recommend replacing the foam if you are replacing the cover. The covers will shape to fit the the foam. If the foam has broken down, new covers will not last as long.
Awesome video! Just bought a new GMC Sierra AT4. The driver's seat (stock) is very thinly padded and not very supportive (it also has heated and ventilated seats). I am a larger framed guy with a bad back and need more padding/support (esp under the butt bone). So, how should I proceed...replace the stock foam with thicker? It is obvious after watching this video, I am not going to try and DIY it. Thanks for making this video...very informative!
I just got a 2014 GMC Sierra All Terrain and it has the most hard and uncomfortable seats I've ever had. I didn't notice it much in the test drive, but the first time I got some miles under me, I was disappointed in the seats.
Just replaced the foam in my 2018 Silverado with heated and cooled seats. Soooo much extra work and complication with the cooled seats. The whole job took almost five hours with the foam modification. One positive note, I found $4.25 in spare change when I removed the seat.
After watching your video, I was able to pull myn apart. A found a SUPER EASY way to get the headrest slides out. I used a 45° pick from the inside of the slide, push and twist ! T.Y.
oh this is so god to know I can order what I need. I bought a 2015 and the interior is immaculate aside from the drivers seat ,particularly the bottom. I was looking at maybe buying an entire new seat or something.
❤ same here and a video is not that good it doesn't show you step-by-step process and break it down it just shows him at a distance it shows it at a distance but it doesn't show him turn it down when he's talking about it so it doesn't do any good I need to take this in somewhere and have it done
Hay this is #torah57mitch and I am contemplating redoing my seats in ultra leather using the old seat cover as a pattern for the new cover you are very informative on the teardown of the seat
Very very very good video very detailed and what not. I needa replace enter console on my gmc 18 sierra 2500hd from elbow on it... Wish they'd put it thicker there.. and noticed my driver seat by electric buttons is now cracking out ;( wish there was thicker there also so it would last a lot longer... So as far as replacement goes how does heated seats work ? That's all mine has so is that imbedded into the fabric or is it in the foam padding or something ? Has anyone done it with heated seats ? Let me know thanks
For heated (non-ventilated) seats, the heating element will be glued to the foam cushion underneath the cover. You can carefully peel that off of the foam and use spray adhesive if you need to transfer it to a new foam cushion.
Technically, you do not have to remove the seat from the vehicle. However, it will make the entire job significantly easier if you do. We would highly suggest it.
Do you guys sell the jet black cloth seat cover for a 2018 Silverado. Looking at ordering the new cushion since my oem cushion is junk and the cover is also ripped from the cushion deteriorating. Thanks
I have a 2016 gmc sierra Denali ultimate with the tan. Drivers side seat bottom is wearing and cushion is sagging from me sitting in it, I’m a big guy. I will call I hope I can fix it
Yes, your seat covers can be switched to leather. Usually, the 2nd row has a different seat option based on cab config, but shoot us an email at sales@theseatshop.com and we can help you out!
If you follow this video, once you get the seat cover off, it's just a matter of swapping out the foam cushion. If your seats are ventilated, you will need to switch the venting mechanism over to the new foam. If the seat is heated only, you'll need to peel off the heating element and use spray adhesive to glue it to the new foam cushion.
Does anyone know if the durafoam padding and covers for the 2014+ are compatible with a 2012 seat frame? I'm kind of thinking about trying this as a hybrid option instead buying the seats outright to retrofit those newer frames to the gmt900 cab.
Anybody knows how to disconnect the big yellow wire harness shown at time 3:26? I need to disconnect it in order to get the seat out of the truck. thanks.
We make the A/C compatible covers (non-Denali), and we do have a video on how you can modify the foam to work with A/C seats: th-cam.com/video/j4yrIbOzmJs/w-d-xo.html
BEWARE! The video makes snapping the strips into the orange clips look easy. IT FUCKING SUCKS and when one side does finally snap in, half the time it pops out when doing the other. New cover and new durofoam. NEVER again. Look for your fingers to be raw on seat one and probably bleed on seat two.
Nice! You’re a dope teacher/instructor! Your voice and articulation is very clear! Angles? Accurate! Steps? Impeccable! Thanks!

Prolly the best how to video on TH-cam. Explained in very easy to follow simple terms. And this man knows his seats like he engineered them.

Hi John, we're glad we could help, if you have any other questions feel free to reach out.

Thanks to this awesome video, I just did an install on my 2015 GMC Sierra. You guys are the best.
how long did it take you? Any issues? I am about to do mine this weekend

Did you actually steam the foam? I want a new driver side vinyl cover for my '15.

That is correct. They would fit.
Do you recommend replacing the old foam or not?
Yes, we recommend replacing the foam if you are replacing the cover. The covers will shape to fit the the foam. If the foam has broken down, new covers will not last as long.
AWESOME video. I’m pretty impressed with the steaming trick! Getting ready to do an install on my 2017 Silverado. Thank you!!
Hi Kurt, thanks for the support, we appreciate it!
Thank You I could not have done this myself without your help and this video

How about doing a video on a 1995 Chevy Silverado seat replacement? How does the seat come out of an extra cab truck with center console?
oh this is so god to know I can order what I need. I bought a 2015 and the interior is immaculate aside from the drivers seat ,particularly the bottom. I was looking at maybe buying an entire new seat or something.
Great video Thank you. Is it necessary to remove the seat from the vehicle or can it be done in place?
It is not necessary to remove the seat from the vehicle. However, it does make it significantly easier to do the installation if you do.
@@TheSeatShop Thanks to your video I was successfully able to replace the seat cover. Much appreciated.
Are those the prefforated ones for the seats that have heating and cooling?
Wonderfully done video. Great ideas with zip ties, steam, and all the other tricks. Thanks for making it
Was ready to do this cushion install, if it didn't include removing the seat.. 2018 w/t silverado

Thank you, I wish you had the cooling and heated replacement cushion . Ild take this on in a heartbeat
Did you ever find the heating AC cover anywhere else?
I will be purchasing from you sir. great video and great product.
Great video! I almost expected you to say T20, T as in…. Torx…. I would have laughed my ass off.
This video was great! Helped me install the seat bottom on my 2015 sierra. Thanks!
Are you able to do 2015 Denali? I only see SLT SLE and work truck

You know you make that look very easy
only cause he's had a lot of practice 😎
Do you need to remove the seat to replace the bottom cover?
Technically, you do not have to remove the seat from the vehicle. However, it will make the entire job significantly easier if you do. We would highly suggest it.
Will those seats bolt into a 2012? Are the seat electrical plugs the same? What about the 2020?
They are different seats.
Do you guys sell the jet black cloth seat cover for a 2018 Silverado. Looking at ordering the new cushion since my oem cushion is junk and the cover is also ripped from the cushion deteriorating.
Thanks
Email us your VIN. We're happy to check the options for you. Sales@TheSeatShop.com
I have a 2016 gmc sierra Denali ultimate with the tan. Drivers side seat bottom is wearing and cushion is sagging from me sitting in it, I’m a big guy. I will call I hope I can fix it
Does this work from going from cloth to leather???
Yes, the cloth and the leather seats used the same frame in this year range. The control cutouts will be different on the side.
Am i able to go from cloth to leather seats? I have a 2014 gmc 1500, SLE with heated seats in the front. No cooling.
Yes, your seat covers can be switched to leather. Usually, the 2nd row has a different seat option based on cab config, but shoot us an email at sales@theseatshop.com and we can help you out!
Is there a video on how to replace the cushion ?

Looking to change the cloth with leather
available for 2021 GMC yukon?
Does this work with cloth seats
Anybody knows how to disconnect the big yellow wire harness shown at time 3:26? I need to disconnect it in order to get the seat out of the truck. thanks.
Are these compatible with a/c seats??
We make the A/C compatible covers (non-Denali), and we do have a video on how you can modify the foam to work with A/C seats: th-cam.com/video/j4yrIbOzmJs/w-d-xo.html
Do you have covers with the 3D mesh for cooled seats? I didn't see that in this vid?
Yes, it will have the 3D mesh on the back of the cover itself with the heated and cooled seats.
To remove the seat is it required that you need to disconnect the battery prior to doing so due to air bags ?
Yes, it is recommended that you do that.
My cloth cover is perfectly fine, but the foam is breaking down.
BEWARE! The video makes snapping the strips into the orange clips look easy. IT FUCKING SUCKS and when one side does finally snap in, half the time it pops out when doing the other. New cover and new durofoam. NEVER again. Look for your fingers to be raw on seat one and probably bleed on seat two.
How to remove the seat
Hello. Watch this video regarding seat removal: th-cam.com/video/8VMP-OmfsCk/w-d-xo.html
Doesn't say about manual levers.
Checked with R&D. It shouldn't matter if you have a manual or powered seat. Should install the same. Hope this helps!
Toyota matrix or Pontiac vibe leather!!!!!
Mines sinking ☹️
Looks like you broke the seatbelt plastic
Those seat cushion aren't even the best made material. They rather look cheaply made with no attention to details. Is kind of dull looking cushion .
I guess seeing videos of what I typed in you tube doesn't know the difference between a 2014
Between a 2014 and what?
Can I remove the heater and a/c to have better cushion???
