This video covers the driver bottom. If you have any questions or would like to purchase any of the products shown in this video, please visit our website at www.TheSeatShop.com or give us a call at 214-710-2565. Thanks!

[@robertmarsh5786]

Just wanted to say thank you for this video, it was extremely helpful. I didn't buy your seat cover, but I did purchase your heating element. Thanks again!

[@lelandbrown7635]

Thanks for the great feedback!

[@bobdinsmore1147]

Great videos, replaced both the drivers seat bottom and arm rest on my 2003 Suburban without taking the whole seat assembly out. Thankfully there were not as many electrical connections so taking just the seat bottom out instead of the whole seat was relatively easy. The armrest put up a battle but the plastic handle of my ice scraper was a great help. Also, thanks for texting me and asking for pictures of my interior to make sure you shipped the right color, they are both a perfect match.

[@PeterEss]

Just wanted to say thanks. Ordered new foam, seat leather, and heating element for a 2004 Tahoe and the new parts were PERFECT. Additionally, your step by step instructions were spot on. Took less than an hour and the difference is AMAZING. Thanks again, folks!

[@TheSeatShop]

Thanks for the feedback Peter, we're glad everything worked out for you!

[@ironmanironman408]

Seat skin, arm rest , scrubbing bubbles , instructional videos-all were perfect--thanks,a satisfied customer

[@jaywilson2102]

My comments: I replaced cover, foam and heater for my 04 Suburban. This guide was a great help and I’m happy with the outcome. I’m handy, but no mechanic, and the entire process took me about 3 hours. Tips: disconnect the first couple wiring harnesses BEFORE you remove the seat by putting the seat all the way forward and up. That will expose the black plastic cover that easily pops off to expose the power harnesses. Then, when the bolts are removed you can pop the seat right out. Those first couple harnesses are clipped to the metal seat frame and can be removed first to get at the clips more easily. Don’t forget which couplings have blue “lockers”. You can always back track, but some pics ahead of time may save you some time if you’re a worrier like I am. I didn’t put the leather on like they did, I started with the clips on the front with the seat “inside out” and worked along the sides, adjusting fit and securing to Velcro along the way - finishing in the very back. I did the entire thing solo - didn’t run into any significant hurdles. I would definitely purchase again.

[@jaywilson2102]

Also meant to say: the heating pad ended up being installed with the copper coils facing UP. Hope that was right!

[@ltthomas114]

I received my seat cover two days ago and installed it yesterday. The cover was a perfect fit and your step by step video walked me through the entire cover change. I plan on using your company when the passenger seat cover needs replaced.

[@vikiking1113]

How did they come out I'm looking into them now .. how's the quality and fitment

[@andrewhawkinson]

@@codlife95 I purchased the covers on ebay. they look like the original new seats!!

[@larrylarry1483]

Helpful video. I have one suggestion and that is to tape and number each electrical connection. Not only is it wonderful to help you find all the connections and pair them up, if you check off each re-connection you will be certain you got them all. These guys don't need this, because they do it 15 times/day, but believe me you'll be glad you did. Also it would be helpful if these guys could take close-ups of some of the more difficult connections. Again for someone like me who never sees these things it is more helpful than being told "hard to find, search around', etc. Other than that, great job guys! I just did the bottom of my '02 Silverado drivers side, pulled the whole thing and lived to tell about it...

[@foonme99]

Great walkthrough and thanks for the tip about the heater! Side note to those who have non-functional heated or cooled seats--there is a consistent problem with some connectors under the passenger seat. Google is your friend.

I bought a bottom cover and new foam from the seat shop and it matched perfectly. This how to video was very helpful and it only took me 2 hours start to finish, a second set of hands is very helpful.

[@rusindaniel]

Thank you.. I made the job much easier ; I was also replacing the seatbelt assembly and the bottom bolt was super hard to remove; be careful not to break the bracket

[@TheSeatShop]

Awesome! Glad we could help! If you broke the bracket you must have been using some serious torque...

[@craigmcdowell8654]

Thanks for the great videos, I was able to do it without taking the seat out of the truck. Getting to some of the plugs would definitely be much easier with the seat out. It probably took just as much time to do it with the seat in. The plugs can be a pita to get to, see how they unplug, and where. But job came out beautiful, great product.

[@workinman0069]

I was actually looking to just replace the drviers seat switch. But now I know what to do when it comes to replacing the foam for the same seat. Thank you

[@calderon1525]

Do I have to unplug the battery to take the driver seat off so the airbag doesn’t go off? (2002 Chevrolet Suburban). The back part of seat is broken and I need to fix it asap. Thanks

[@stewdog22]

Just a heads up that there may be, like for my truck, a set of wires that runs from the top of the chair to the bottom that does not have a quick connect. You'll have to have push rivets and zip ties on hand if this is the case for you. You'll have to break the push rivet or cut the zip ties to free this set of wires; you will then, obviously, have to reconnect those wires when you are done.

[@jaywilson2102]

I don’t think you have to cut or damage any ties or harnesses. You may have to really hunt down wires, but many harnesses are “clipped” to the plastic rivets and can be removed without damaging the plastic rivets!

[@evo6swap]

Thank you

[@stashub8306]

What about the broken bottom seat cushion support frame wiring under the foam ? Is there a fix or replacement part ? 1/2 of the thin wires are broke , giving the seat cushion not much support . Is it included if you buy a new seat cushion?

[@abrahamespinosa3553]

Thanks a lot guys!!!!!!!!

[@nestorcaamano307]

Thank you for the vedio helps me out another.

[@TheSeatShop]

Min 1:18 - 1:36...You will need a 15 MM Socket for the front two nuts, and an 11 MM Socket for the back two bolts. These will look like inverted torx (star) bolts and nuts, but the 15 MM and the 11MM will fit on there tight. Once the 4 fasteners are loosened, you will need to unplug the power connections underneath the seat at the back. These are quick connect power plugs. After disconnecting the power, the seat should lift right out of the car.

Hi and thanks for reaching out, just to be clear we don't sell the entire seat we just replace the leather covers and in some cases manufacture the driver bottom foam cushion. At this time we will only have the covers available for your 2005 GMC Canyon and will not have the foam cushion. Here is a link for the covers if your Canyon is an SL or an SLE - www.theseatshop.com/2005-gmc-canyon-sl-sle/ If your is a work truck here is your material options - www.theseatshop.com/2005-gmc-canyon-work-truck/ For a Foam Cushion, not many places are going to manufacture it (usually the factory will discontinue after 10 years) so your best bet is going to be an upholstery shop rebuilding the foam for you. Here is a link to our Nationwide network of upholstery shops to see if the nearest ones to you can try and help you out - www.theseatshop.com/resources/install-locator/
