Last weekend I installed my leather seat covers and I could not be happier.
The quality and fit is amazing. I highly recommend them to anyone considering going with leather. It's more of a Mercedes S class/ Bentley type feel. I did the install myself over 2 days.

Troy from star fabricating is really a great guy. I can't say enough positive things about him, his product or support.
Shipping was fast I had these in my hands one week after they were ordered.

 

Looks real nice, how much did the cover come out to. Really like that diamond pleat centers

 

Congrats, looks good.

 

Thanks I am glad u like them. They are really comfortable too. It has memory foam behind the diamonds.
They were $1250 shipped.

 

Did you have to take the seats out of the jeep to install them?

 

The front seats only have to come out of the jeep. The rear bottom cushion gets uninstalled from the seat frame and the rear back stays in place. If you don't have heated seats now is a great time to install that as well. Also not too hard.

I've never done a upholstery job like this before and I learned a lot. It's was a lot of work but it was well worth it.

This is a link to an install guide it to give you and idea of what needs to be done.

I purchased the wrong sized hog rings and pliers. So I used zip ties. You just rotate the head of the tie into the cushion after it's tight.

In the guide he removed the headrest button/insert with his fingers. I don't know how he did that, he must be superman. I actually used 2 long boxed end wrenches in place of fingers and pulled them out.
Still difficult but can be done. Troy told me afterwords he rolls up the seat cover exposing the seat frame and uses a hammer to tap them out. Much easier I wish I asked him first.

Also if your seats have airbags you have a few extra steps as well.
First you have to disconnect your battery before you unplug the airbag connector. The wire leading to the air bag has 2 grommets attaching it to the seat frame. They must be removed to free the wire.
This all needs to done before you separate the back from the bottom. The airbag is held to the seat and seat cushion with 2 10mm nuts. You have to uninstall it from the frame to get the seat cover on and off.



The big handle gets unbolted.


Anyone can do it. Just keep in mind your rolling the seat covers on and off. It's like a condom.... Lol .you take the new seat cover inside out and you roll it down the seat. And the uninstall is the reverse you roll it up.

 

Yeah i had mine for about a year now and love them leather is great definitely going with the napa upgrade is a must also go for the heated seat kit makes such a difference in the winter.
By the way the head rest plugs come out with a little force but in my off time I an superman lol.
They look great in your jeep bud, don't worry they don't get as hot as you think in the sun.
And yes Troy couldn't be any better in help and info great service.

 

Thanks for all the tips, now this is definitely on my "to do list"

 

Looks great !
