    Hey all,

    I just brought a set of Clazzio leather seat covers from eBay for my 2009 Tacoma double cab.

    Does anyone have any experience on installing these? If so, are they hard? I've heard that they are super tight fitting and in some cases, requireyou to disconnect certain wires or the seat in order to complete the assembly? Would you recommend professional installation?

    Thanks a lot!!

    I'll let you know on Saturday, I just bought a pair myself. UPS is supposed to deliver them Friday and I'll post pictures in a thread I started in the product review section.
    What type did you get? How much? I ordered mine from a place here in MA and got the leather center in all black. Full set cost me $454 total.
    If you haven't watched it yet go to YouTube and watch the Clazzio video for installation. They are using an F150 but the tips and instructions should be pretty universal.

    I got mine today but only managed to get the front seats done before it got dark. The thing that has me stumped that I spent the most time on is the arm rest, I might be stupid but I can't figure out how to get it looking nice, the part at the latch is my biggest problem.

    Looks good, I have the exact same ones. The wrinkles smooth out after a little bit, I'm planning on re-tightening mine this weekend.

    It took me about 3 hours to do everything. I didn't remove the original seat covers like the instructions said because it looked like a pain in the ass...

    I'm still having a hard time smoothing the wrinkles but I've heard it takes some breaking in with sitting and the sun?

    I love that "new car" smell with these seat covers. lol.
