Clazzio OEM looking leather seat covers installation tips 2017 Toyota Tacoma

These are leather seat covers that I had read a lot of great things on the forums. it was between these and Wet Okole but I prefer the leather look vs the neoprene plus was several hundred higher cost wise.
This video shows my unboxing and some install tips as well as the final product. I think it would be hard for a layman to eye this and not thing it's oem.
found them on amazon here cheaper! : amzn.to/2CVoy9j Canada here amzn.to/2zlT6B5

[@FrankHotdog]

Great review dude. I have always figured that putting these seat covers on would be a hardcore hand workout.

[@charlesdailey164]

“A little more cushion for the tushion. That was bad.” Sorry that part got me 😂😂

[@RobDaman]

🤣 thanks for noticing that. It was a test. lol

[@rafaeldiazus]

You did a nice install. Thanks for sharing.

[@RobDaman]

Thanks for watching! 👍

[@TheJonnyJager]

How are they holding up? Are you happy with the covers still? Do you think you will do a quick update video? This was a good watch, love your videos!

[@savedbymercifulgrace]

These look GREAT!! Very OEM looking, Im going to have to order some.

[@RobDaman]

+Jesse Williams be sure to use tacomaworld as the coupon code and save $75

[@savedbymercifulgrace]

Rob Daman definitely will, thank you!

[@odinsameasfirst2640]

Nice job on the install. The seat covers look very good.

[@RobDaman]

+Odin Same as First thanks. Their holding up very well too. My fingers were sore for days

[@CarnutMM]

They look great. Thanks for the video

[@RobDaman]

they look the same 2 years later too. thanks for watching

[@chenology]

Looks great! I was thinking of doing this but adding a heated seat element in between the OEM cloth and pleather. Have you seen that kind of set up? Wondering how that foam will old up with the heat.

[@RobDaman]

Thanks. Still holding strong. When I ordered these there was an option for heating elements so ya your fine.

[@carknowledge2929]

Wow those are great seat covers

[@jovanlozada850]

Thanks for the review! I would like to hear some suggestions about these covers. I have a Scion tC 2016 and I’m very interested in getting one of these covers but I don’t know if I should get the PVC or Genuine Leather

[@RobDaman]

if you have "sweaty back" syndrome , leather will breath better.

[@charlesdetailn8514]

Thanks for another great video. Do I see new wheels & tires??????

[@RobDaman]

Haha. yea you do. I need to talk about those and TPMS soon. :)

[@MrSaxobari]

Looks great!

[@RobDaman]

thanks! they're holding up great. no issues in the summer

[@devildoc6749]

Hey Rob, just wanted to see how things are going in your neck of the woods now, Hope you were able to sell your truck and doing better.

[@RobDaman]

Thanks for checking in. Still doing what I need to do. No sale on the truck yet but it'll go sooner than later.

[@conservativeamerica9655]

They look good!!

[@RobDaman]

Thanks! they're holding up great too

[@michaelbarber5651]

Nice Video...thanks for doing it. How do you get the plastic headrest pieces off. Do you think it would help to use a heat gun on low or hair dryer to heat the cover up so it would stretch better? After a nice hot day, did you have to go back and snug stuff back up? I was looking at the same thing. I'm not sure Toyota leather seats are worth $10,000 that is the basic difference that Toyota wants to charge for the leather seats. Here if these leather seats get torn or it is time to sell your vehicle, pull the leather off and your seats look new.

[@RobDaman]

Hi, Are you asking how the headrests came off the seatback? Or you mean the part that mounts to the seatback? If it's the latter, I just slowly worked around it with that plastic pick they provide. I wouldn't recommend a heatgun because the outer part of the shell is synthetic so they're could be a chance you could melt it. A hair dryer would be smarter but you could also just leave the covers inside the truck and run the heater at full blast for a while since you could be a colder climate. I haven't readjusted anything on my Clazzios since this installation last year and they still look good. You're correct about damage to the cover. In fact Clazzio will sell you the replacement part so you don't need to buy the entire kit. Let me know if you have any other questions.

[@michaelbarber5651]

The headrest just pull out. However, I was referring to the plastic piece left on the primary seat there which you indicated could be removed....

[@RobDaman]

Got it. Yes once the headrest are removed you can see inside a detent. Use a screwdriver or a pick and you can move that detent which releases the entire shaft. It pops back in easily after that.

[@dasspr]

What rubber mats are those please? Thnks

[@scarinit]

Looking sharp! I might get the black with white inserts. Appreciate the installation tips

[@RobDaman]

they're great. i have tint so it doesn't get too hot with them. i couldn't wait for a special order so just pulled the trigger on black when it came in stock. i got it in 1 day.

[@donbaranda]

I have a 18’ trd off road as well and the seats are so damn uncomfortable and hard on these. 60-90 mind of driving and my butt and legs are going numb. You mentioned they have extra padding/inserts. Do these add comfort at all? Thanks!

[@RobDaman]

Yes a little. It's a thin layer of memory foam. You can feel there's a difference with the covers on. Covers are still holding up well. 27k miles on the Taco

[@donbaranda]

Awesome. Thanks Rob. Might end up grabbing a set during the holidays.

[@RobDaman]

😎 happy Friday

[@danwilk]

I'm installing these now did you have to remove the center arm rest to place the cover on?

[@RobDaman]

+Daniel Wilkins hi. No you don't. Only the headrests will be removed. Leave the covers in the sun for more pliability and stretch out your fingers.

[@martinaguilar33]

Ordered some waiting for them to get here......but just so you all know clazzio does not deal with any sellers on amazon or eBay so if your wanting to order a set keep that in mind if ur like me and want the real product......but man they look good for possibly being fake.....can’t wait for mine to get here

[@RobDaman]

Good to know. I'm not sure if they're fake but perhaps gray market which could be a warranty concern. I've had mine for 18 months or so with no issues. You're going to love em.

[@adanrios5884]

I orden mines from ebay and they original clazzio with 5 year warranty and the seller told me they are covered under clazzio warranty and even the box says made in china and has the label with the address from tha factory and it only took 5 days to be shipped to my door

[@techsocial626]

Thanks for posting this. Are these the black or dark grey color? Looking to pull the trigger on these...

[@RobDaman]

These are labeled black but do look dark grayish due to shine. They've held up well with my 3 kids.

[@techsocial626]

Rob Daman I just ordered the black with dark grey insert and blue stitching. $100 more but used the Tacomaworld coupon previously mentioned. Said they had 2 of these in stock so hopefully will arrive soon!

[@RobDaman]

@@techsocial626 Nice! You'll get it plenty quick vs the custom order method. Warm up and stretch out those fingers though. I still remember how sore mine were. 😅

[@techsocial626]

@@RobDaman Yeah... may have to request some time off!

[@techsocial626]

@@RobDaman I'm wondering if heating up the covers a little bit (like in the dryer) would help make the install a little easier?

[@haroldbrown3452]

hey, can you give us an update since its been 2.5 yrs, how they holding up? also , was this one the full PVC version, all black? that is what they stock and for $399

[@RobDaman]

These held out like new. They were the leather/PVC combo for $600 currently I just swapped to a new cover by PRP which I need to cover in a video. I'm premiering them at SEMA this week

[@jasonboyd3619]

How did these conform to the seat bolsters? It looks like they're not sitting in the seam! Thanks

[@RobDaman]

Install on a warm day and they stretch out a lil after getting warn in

[@prestigeworldwide2851]

Is the back seat still functional with the seat covers?

[@RobDaman]

Yes. fully functional. There will be that string that ties the cover down so if you have a pet, you need to consider that.

[@StrokedGT]

do you remove your oem seat cloth covers, or does this go over it?

[@RobDaman]

+Daniel Salazar goes right over it. Super snug to say the least. They make it for other makes and models too

[@Runny12456]

Do you thinking pulling out the seats would make the installation cleaner and easier??

[@RobDaman]

I was going to do that and most people said it was unnecessary. Also mounted gives you leverage. It's like OJ struggling to put on the glove

[@Runny12456]

Thanks for the reply!!!

[@WiseSilverWolf]

6:21 How do you remove that piece? im having a hard time installing that part on my covers :-(

[@RobDaman]

it's hard to pop off and back on. takes some kung fu. some people disconnect the seat belt and just stretch over it.

[@WiseSilverWolf]

@@RobDaman Thanks I got the cover over it by using the trim tool to slide the cover under the plastic piece and by going from left to right.

[@loko0o125]

Hello there, just wondering how much money did you pay for them, they look nice but i want to make sure if they are under my budget

[@loko0o125]

Rob Daman thank you ill give it a try !!?

[@RobDaman]

I just tried it and the same solid black I have came out to $498.80 so I was on point. It's a good cover. nobody thinks it's a slip on.

[@supersaijan4]

Rob Daman dude how are your seat covers holding up? Im interested in getting the same ones for my Taco but not yet 100% sold on it. Or do you know of other seat covers that are better quality? Thanks!

[@RobDaman]

They're holding up great! Looks the same as new. There's someone that just listed a 3 month old set on tacomaworld. As far as other kinds unless you like neoprene style there's wet okole. Nothing else is available in the clazzios price range

[@nathanros4341]

How is it holding up? Wanted to get an update after 3 years

How did you work the wrinkles out?

[@RobDaman]

good question. it actually works itself out especially sitting out on a warm / hot day. You could also get hair dryer.

[@CarnutMM]

Do you tend to sweat more with these in the summertime?

[@RobDaman]

LSanti good question. If you sweat in general with contact to leather or vinyl in other cars or sofas during warmer climates, you will here. I run the AC all the time so I don't have those issues. Clazzios don't accentuate the situation. I had full vinyl covers in my E30 and it wasn't any different for me. Thanks for commenting. 🌮♥️

Sorry that's an incorrect assumption. FAQ www.clazzio.com/faqs.php "When I install Clazzio, what will happen to the side impact airbag? We use thread designed for the side impact airbag. It has been proven that Clazzio does not have any effect on the deployment of the side impact airbag" See test video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYO4gmOZhaaHq6s Can you imagine the liability of ALL seat cover manufacturers in the USA alone?
