I just completed this on my 450h. Thanks for the video. The thing i forgot to do on the first try is install the hog rings on the front and back of the seat cushion. This is critical. Also for those trying to do this. Pay attention to how the plastic front and sider cover go back on. I was stuck on this for a while until i looked at my other seat. I only replaced my seat cushion and not the whole thing. The thing that sucks is trying to find a good rear seat cover replacement.
So I just did my bottome seat today. I bought my seat from texan on ebay. Lengthy process. Just take your time and don't rush it. It took me between 5-6 hours . The hardest part was figuring out where to start the hog rings. I had to do half up both sides and then the middle. Then I finished the sides and did the front. Not the worst job but I should have waited until it was nice and cool. Good luck!
I will be attempting this in a couple of days. I am sure I can get everything apart. Getting everything back together.... might be a problem! Thanks for the help.
Daaang! This is definitely incentive for taking good care of my leather seats! Great video of a complicated procedure, btw. Not for the faint of heart!
Thank you for showing the process, I assume that the passenger cushion had some wrinkles in it I’m assuming that may have to do with the placing of the hog rings but thank you very much. I’ll be doing cushions this afternoon on the same vehicle. Great video thank you
This was a most excellent video‼ I read where it said you were located in Dubi, The Middle East. Later in the posts, it stated you lived in Charlotte, N.C.? I’m hoping like hell you live in Charlotte, N.C. I live just up the road, in Eastern, N.C.and just 1.5 hours from Charlotte, N.C. I would gladly drive there to have my seats reupholstered, and know several others that want there’s done too. Please let me know the price, and I will send you my information, as well as several other RX-350 owners that need their seats reupholstered too. One again, thanks a lot, and I look forward to doing business with you. ~ William ~
Now I want to find someone to do it for me. I will order the covers, but I don't want to do this. I love to tinker, but I might not get it back together correctly, and it might take me a month to finish one seat.
lol lol hey this is richie rich aka the r unit :222 that was cool u replace that part of seat. That what i need to do on other hand vacuum it first lol lol i have 2015. RX350 SILVER AKA SNOW BOUND !
Will you please let me know how to remove the back cushion completely. You are only removing the cover of the cushion but I need to remove the whole cushion. The problem is the headrest clips. How do I get them off? Thanks!
Very nice video! A DampRid bag leaked on my back passenger side seat. The "leather" looks wrinkled/melted. I wondered if it could be replaced---- and, it can! I hope I can find a Lexus dealer that will do this for me. Thank you!
Very good guide. Does anyone know what the purpose of an oblong thick plastic block in a cloth pocket on the inside of the bottom cushion by the seat belt? It is secured with a pop button through the outer upholstery leather. I sewed it back in on my seat cover, as it was not supplied with my new bottom covers. 2010 RX350, two bottom seat recovers only..
Fantastic video. Two questions: Does Lexus sell the leather with the heating pad already joined together and secondly, it looks like re-installing the hog rings is the hardest part of this - is there a special tool for that?
Yes, Lexus does sell the leather holster separately, they’re around $200-$300 each, and you can buy tools on Amazon, hog ring pliers and hog rings to install.
You don’t necessarily have to, I would if I’m working on my steering wheel, but since I’ve disconnected from the under the seats itself, there is no power to the seats.
Looking to get my Lexus RX350 reupholstered. Passenger and Driver side. How much would that cost me as I’m having anxiety just watching you do it. And any suggestions on where I can get it done? Live in Central Valley in California
I’m pretty sure Cali have shops that does this, I don’t live there, so I don’t know any actual shops,but they are pretty pricey, but it’s worth it if you plan on keeping your car for a long run.
Just had a shop here in Houston replace the bottom leather on drivers side seat. It was torn in the perforated parts. They replaced all the bottom cushion leathers and center perforated part on drivers seat. It was $465 without tax added. Looks amazing now.
WHAT THE HELL WAS U THUNKING... DID EVER THINK CLEANING THAT RX350 FIRST.THAT HOW YALL TREAT CARS .THAT NASTY BRO .JUST LET KNOW ( THIS IS THE R UNIT ) THE OWNER OF FOR DIFF LEXUS G,S THE RX THE LS AND L.C ALL CLEAN BRO !!!!
I will give much respect to the upholsterer. That is a lot of work!
Thank you so much!
I never give votes but Your work is terrific and deserves applause!
thank you so much for the video, i was able to change mine out. took some sweat and tears but i was able to follow your steps quite easily
Great job and looks amazing. I know what I can tackle and this isn't one of them but thank you for the class 👍

Hoping you realized the seatbelt clip was backwards before the seat was back in the car! Good, informative vid otherwsie.

Wow, nice work
Hi Dear,where is your the workshop? 👏👏
Nice job, I don't think I'll try this since I have no experience at this. I'll need to find someone to do my lexus 350 c.
Now I want to find someone to do it for me. I will order the covers, but I don't want to do this. I love to tinker, but I might not get it back together correctly, and it might take me a month to finish one seat.
Totally left out the seat back cover, both install & removal.
lol lol hey this is richie rich aka the r unit :222 that was cool u replace that part of seat. That what i need to do on other hand vacuum it first lol lol i have 2015. RX350 SILVER AKA SNOW BOUND !

Nice .!!! Really helpful…!!!
Thanks for the video. Curious how long it took you to swap both seats and how long you think it would take a novice and difficulty level
It can take up to 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours depending on tools available to you, difficulty level, is medium. Not as hard as you think.
Nicely done.
Thank you for the interesting video, I have a question, what kind of spray do you use before installing the seat heating element.
It’s an adhesive spray made for fabric to stick on to, the one I use le is made by 3m
was thinking i could do this on my own…saw this video and quickly changed my mind. can you do mine for me please 😭
update i did it on my own however im struggling to put the side back on. it won’t go through??
well done kind sir

You're hired!
Great job and video.

Excellent good job 🙏🌹🙏
Im debating doing this or get a used entire seat for about $300-350
If you can get the entire seat for that price, just go for it.
Where can you find a used seat I'm in south Florida I need 2 front for my rx350 2010
Makes you want to get a Corolla and change the seats
You're awesome. Thank you for sharing.
I’m having that exact issue
Well done. Hope you can do mine 2013 rx350. Hahaha. 😄
Hi where do you by thoes cover replacements???
So you have to reinstall with new hog rings and have the correct plirr for that too
Great job. I'm in the middle of the process. Is there a reason you glued the heat pad to the foam and not the seat cover? Thanks.
No reason, just preference
WOW THANK YOU!
Good job
Aren't you supposed to disconnect the battery first? (to avoid the airbags going off or whatever)
You don’t necessarily have to, I would if I’m working on my steering wheel, but since I’ve disconnected from the under the seats itself, there is no power to the seats.
Have a 2016 RX350. Passenger seat heater now getting very warm. Do you fix these?
Hey does the passenger cushion fit into the driver side? Would i be able to just buy a pax seat and swap out the entire cushion?
Did u have any trouble with the airbag after u reconnected it. Thanks!
No issue at all
What is total cost to do?
Where are you located.. nice job !
My 2014 RX seats (same color) look almost as bad.😞 But, there is hope... what state are you in?
Hi, great work. Do you any one who sells extended tracks for these models so the driver seat can be extended further back? Thank you.
Sorry, I don’t know anyone who does.
Where can I buy beige seat covers for lexus rx350 2010
Was thinking, pretty sure I can do this….15 minutes into the video and I realize that I’m too self confident . This is Not for the faint of heart.
Wish you would do mine rx350 2011.
Can get it done in Dubai pretty cheaply.
Will you ever do a GS350 or GS450h 2008. model? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Tons of videos on RX and other Lexus models but not GS!
If I ever come across these cars, yes, I will definitely do one, these seats are not hard, just time consuming, but worth it in the long run.

How long did it take per seat
25min per seat
Also, what size hog rings did u use for the bottom seat part only
I would like to say 3/8, but probably 1/2
Where do you get the replacement material kit?
Leatherseats.com, they are pretty expensive btw.
Wonder how much for one seat .thanks
That depends, new or used?
Does the cooling and heating feature still work??
It does, for as long as you don’t cut the padding
Where you located I want fix my car seats same what you did in video
I’m in NC
So can you do the same thing to my car please?
Where are are you located? Got a 2011 and would like to get both fronts replaced.
I’m in Charlotte, NC
Dude!! Where do you live and let me know please my name is Mario
I was looking to see how you removed the armrest? Help
If I get a chance to do another RX350, I will definitely show that, but sadly, it’s not my car, and I didn’t think about removing it.
@@SokhomGarage can you advise (tell me) how the cap on the slim armrest comes off? 2007 rx
@@FranzConsol are you talking about the center console armrest?
I would like to know how much do you charge for this job? And where do you get the new seat cover ?
