If you have an old car like mine, your front seat covers are probably worn out. Here's a full install video of me doing a real leather seat cover replacement on my GX470 front driver and passenger seats. This install will pretty much work on any older Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, FJ, Tundra, or most cars on the road. Obviously, some of the mounting locations are different, but you'll get a really good idea of how to replace the seat covers in your car. No, this is not some slip-on seat cover installation; it's a full upholstery replacement (seat covers only). Slip-on seat covers don't have the same OEM-like feel as an upholstery seat cover replacement. It's a bit tedious, but it is 100% worth it.

Just finished installing the lseat leather covers on my front row. Could not have done it without this video. Everything went perfect except the j-hook along the front edge of the lower cushion. The seam came loose on both covers during installation. That part of the install is brutal. Once the plastic housing is reinstalled, it looks perfect though. Can’t tell the seam is loose at all. Thanks for the video.

Great video. Followed your instructions for the most part, except I used very small zip ties instead of hog rings. Didn't even use the rods. I installed an amazon faux leather bottom cover (see link below). Zip tied a small loop to the rods in the padding and then another thru the inserts on the replacement and the white cotton looking material that is the seat warmer. Tied both together and pulled tight as well as cut the tail end of the zip tie. So far so good. Warmers work and the seat is fine (though a slight different color). Did driver side only. Thanks again though. Couldn't have done this myself without your video.

Hey man loving your GX content! Thanks for sharing everything with us. Subscribed

@Paiadakine

Thanks for the detailed instructions.

@jmicmiller

Hey just curious if you can confirm this is real (full or top grain) leather, or if it is some kind of composite (like genuine). Also, I'd also love a follow up video to see how the leather has settled in. Seems like the headrest could be an issue. Thanks for this video!!! I have the grey color and really hope it matches as well. Finally at min 41 you mention a clamp trick but I wasn't able to find what that is in the vid. If you could lmk, I'd be appreciated!

@ttinnovations3310

a trick is pantie hose, you slip the pantie hose over the foam and its acts to slip the leather over and air compressor and vacuum

great guide. thank you for sharing.

@nijovacisoen4395

In the beginning of the video when he said it’s very easy, 42 min later 😮 I could only imagine what it will be like if he had said it was going to be a little hard 😭. I still can’t take on them but damn I don’t think it will take me that long

@SkinnySkinch

Hey what floor mats do you have? I can't believe Husky Liners doesnt make a custom set for this car I love their mats.

Very nice, would love to see a follow up short on how the wrinkles came out

@PrestonmKramer 21 день назад

Hi! Do you know if your tutorial would work 1999 LX470 seats? I can’t find any L-Seat tutorials online; but your seats look quite similar to mine

@tribe120

Great Video, Which rock sliders do you have installed... ?

@user-lg6yr4fg3u Год назад

Hi what did you do to your center wood trim on the dash that is silver in your GX versus the wood that would have been there, mine my wood is breaking apart, thanks and did the leather covers finally smooth out the wrinkles?

@martyno8696

Great video! Thinking about getting these for my truck. The material looks kind of loose and wrinkled. Has it tightened up over time? How does it look now?
