Tsb On Ebony Seat

[BloodRedSilverado]

what about that thingofajingy that you can hook to a battery and it electrically discharges your seats to keep the lint off?lmao. I'm glad mine came with the seats that don't look like a white-haired dog has been sitting in. But seriously GM needs to look into this. However for somebody that cheaps out on some pretty minor things, you can't expect them to give you premium seats...can you??

Well, I bought the Katzkin leather replacements for my crew cab a year ago and love'em. I spent $635 on ebay from a dealership in Florida who stated a customer ordered them and changed their mind.

 

 

 

 

looks great -- what katzin color did you choose?

These things are brilliant. I went to the katskinz website in order to see if they have a canadian retailer, and no luck - anyone have a website or somthing for a canadian retailer?

[asilverblazer]

Yes, but they are not leather. I suspect that the Katzkins would be quite a bit nicer. Of course that comes at a 200$ +/- premium too.

 

 

Andy, is that a Ford/New Holland emblem in your picture?

 

Yes.

has anybody tried rubbing the seats with dryer sheets to reduce static cling? might be worth a shot.

yup. it isn't static cling that is doing it. This stuff is like the hook portion of velcro. Not to mention that half of the crap is coming from inside the seat. If you grab the end of what looks like a little white hair and pull on it three more inches come out.

Guys -

 

I give up !! I've purchased a new set of katzkin leather. I found a fair deal --

 

Crew Cab -- $645 inlcudes two tone (insert) performation with matching stitching. I think it's about a hundred less ($545) for standard leahter. I found my source on ebay. Listed below is the information. Nice guy -

I bought the fuller brush that was mentioned on another page. It seemed to work better than anything else I tried. But it was still a pain in the butt.

For anyone that might find this useful. Take the blade out of an exacto knife and run it gently along the seat, flat and not as if your trying to jut it open (I think how is pretty self explanatory). I think you will be surprised at how much comes right off without damage to the seat.

 

Give it a try!

The Katzkin box says the color is "Carbon". It is a very good match to the factory ebony

Mine collect so much hair and random crap as well. It blows

I've heard many people talk about installing Katzkin covers. How difficult is this to do for a fairly reasonable do-it-yourselfer?

While I've never done it, I read someone on here say that it's a 2 day job for a crew cab. Not something I want to tackle personally. I think that post is in this thread somewhere.
