Removing Cloth seat cover and installing Leather seat covers

[Watsond]

I have a 2019 Sierra SLE which came with cloth seats. I'd like to replace the cloth with leather but after looking at some of the online YouTube videos it appears to be a rather lengthy and difficult job. Any advise on installing leather, which company makes the best leather seat covers, any recommendations on having a dealer or other service organization complete the work? I am located in Columbus Ohio.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

I did this to my 2011 Sierra. I  used Katzkins and was very pleased with the qualify and service. I bought the base model which is leather in the seating areas and leather-like in the others. Almost impossible to tell the 2 apart. I had the truck for 8 year with those seats and they still looked great when traded. It was hard use too. 3 kids and 2 dogs. I will say it was a lot of work to install. I think I spent 10 hours total. And to qualify it I'm an automotive mechanic. I took my time because I had never done this sort of job and didn't want to break anything. The headrests were tough. Its like forcing a basket ball into a hole the size of quarter... I'm debating if I should upgrade my 2019 Elevation.

I've had vehicle seats replaced with aftermarket leather in the past and the Kazkins were the best in my opinion.  They should have a recommended Katzkins shop close to you and offer some good discounts right now, as I've been getting emails from them on a non-GM vehicle I have been considering upgrading from cloth to leather.  Good luck with your decision.  I would never tackle that job as I would be afraid of not installing it correctly on seats with heaters, etc.
