GX470 Leather Seat Cover Replacement and Issues 

Truth! I wish I saw this comment before I took mine out, def would make it much easier. Good advice

Yep we’ve all been there ha!

Thanks!

Thanks

Thanks!

Yep same process

Just finished it up yesterday and looks so good. Makes me want to do the passengers even though it had no tears.

@@riverdodd3920 Yep I know, ordered a passenger cover already lol

I use the McGuires, its fine. If youre going to condition after cleaning (as you should) you can go pretty aggressive like simple green or scrubbing bubbles. The Super Clean I use on the channel a lot might be a little too strong, maybe water it down just a bit.

Wondered if anyone would notice that….

No doing this doesn’t mess with the air bags. If you had any issues from doing this it’s because you have 2 left hands and messed something up lol

@@HawkeyeSkunkWorks LOL! Thanks! That is what it looked like from the vids I saw but wanted to be 100% sure. Thanks much!

Its under the passenger seat. Maybe someone kicked it.

@@HawkeyeSkunkWorks thank you. i have just fixed it.

Not on the 470, but Ive done plenty of other, same deal.

Thanks

They’re all over eBay

aftermarket leather, the cheaper ones are vinyl and apparently only last about a year.

There are some good videos out there, that’s how I figured it out.

Technically no, but anytime you’re messing with electrical plugs you “should”

@@HawkeyeSkunkWorks As you know, there are electrical plugs under the seat. Many have mentioned that you need to do that due to the air bag. I've done a lot of research regarding aftermarket seat cover and I've found the company that replicates to exact OEM specs. It costs a bit more than others but it will give you less of headache. How long did it take you?

@@yubemful took a couple hours

@@yubemful I’m really curious what company you found. I did a bit of googling before I pulled the trigger on mine. I ended up with upper tier eBay bottom seat covers and seat shop arm rests. I can definitely tell the seat shop leather is much better than EBay (go figure). I wish seat shop had back seat covers. If you could share the shops you found, that would be greatly appreciated!!

sure if you want to come get it

@@HawkeyeSkunkWorks send it to me it’s in way better condition than mine! Lol

@@bigroddave haha I feel ya but Im not shipping it sorry

hahaha I mean...... no it was the cutters I dropped on the cement

That was a fart.

For whatever reason all Japanese car leather is not great. And I means it’s 15 years old….

dont know
