I just purchased a new 2020 RST with leather, before I bought the truck the dealer fixed the leather seat portion of the passenger seat. They changed the whole seat but they provided a seat that now has issues also. Is anyone having issues with the leather on the seats loose and wrinkled? It’s more noticeable on the side lumbar panels. Maybe I’m being picky, wanted to get some options prior to calling the dealer.

They look like aftermarket if you ask me, are these katzkins because that doesn't look like a oem leather seat cover?

No, you are not being picky, that looks like crap, doubt if you paid for the "patina" leather package.

 

Also surprised they were able to get you a brand new seat so quickly, with so many parts on back order nation wide, that is pretty impressive?

 

When I had seat issues in my 14, they did not even stock the new seats to be sold, so they robbed one out of a 15 to make me happy.

These are factory new I’ve only had the truck 3 days

Just saying because many dealers are putting those covers on trucks on their lot and that is how the look for the most part until the sun warms them up but imo covers even top dollars ones like Katzkins have that close but not perfect fit to them. No doubt your dealer at least took the cover off at some point, that is no way in heck from the factory like that. I would ask them for another new seat or have someone that knows what they are doing fit it because that thing looks over stretched to me.

Welcome to this forum!  My guess is that these are dealer installed covers and not factory.  Check the build sheet on your new truck to see if it came from the factory with the "leather" seats.

Thanks for the welcome, I’m glad everyone is willing to provide feedback. I’m sure I will have more questions since this truck is much different then my 05 Silverado.

So the truck was vandalized or something?

Before I purchased it there was a seat issue with the leather being very wrinkled. they said they switched the entire chair since they could not just switch the seat. I didn’t not notice the lumbar and back section prior to deliver since I was focused on the seat section. I will be contacting the dealership to see about switching it out and making sure it looks right before they install it.

You may want to look at the entire vehicle closely, sounds like it could be water damaged or something.

There should be a QR label inside of the drivers front door jamb, that will give you most of the factory RPO codes, and what they are.

It is looking like a saggy seat cover or maybe have fitting issues. I think you should definitely consult with dealer and ask about this problem. To remove saggy appearance of leather seats, usually YouTube tutorials suggest to apply hot air from hair dryer with custom settings and then application of leather seat conditioners like this ( https://leather-toolkits.com/reviews/best-car-leather-cleaners-and-conditioners/  ) could be a better idea. However, as your leather covers are entirely new that's why it is better to consult with dealer. 

Mayhap, it is a fitting issue as compared to wrinkles. On the other hand, it could also an issue related to your seat foam. Yes, maybe your seat foam was used and old and it didn't support the cover in appropriate manner. Dealer will tell you such issues in detail.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.
