I finally got around to replacing the driver’s side seat cushion & cover on the heated & cooled leather seats I installed a little while ago.
……….

I bought the cushion & cover from Richmond Auto Upholstery via eBay. In my opinion, they’re a great company with excellent communication & customer service that makes a high quality product.

I finally got around to replacing the driver’s side seat cushion & cover on the heated & cooled leather seats I installed a little while ago.

I watched a couple videos on YouTube and this is the one I found to be the most helpful as far as disassembly of the seat and removal of the cover goes.


For whatever reason, I didn’t take a side photo of the seat before the install. The left side of the seat cushion was permanently smashed down and had a long tear in it and a shallow cut towards the seat back. The center of the cushion was very worn out; I didn’t realize just how worn out the old cushion actually was until I sat on the new one.

(I had to lower my seat because I was sitting up too high)

It wasn’t a bad install, just a little more time consuming since I’ve never done anything like this before.

Yes I did. I made sure I carefully rolled it up/folded it a little to get it through the cut-out in the side of the cushion and sprayed adhesive to secure it to the new cushion.

Nice.

Im currently removing cloth covers on heated seats and replacing with leather....wanted to transfer the heating elements to my stock seats but they are glued down pretty well. Didnt want to destroy the foam on the seats I purchased so I will stick with them (replacement seats are from a 2015, my truck is a 2017 so I was thinking my foam would be in better shape than the 15)

Yeah, the factory adhesive is pretty heavy duty. The stuff I used is a repositionable, “safe for all applications” spray adhesive. I used what was left and didn’t keep the can... oops. My wife picked it up for a project she was working on; I believe she got it at a craft store or office supply store. It’s not nearly as tacky as the factory stuff, but it held the heating pad to the cushion just fine while I was installing the new cover.
