    No worries man, I appreciate you checking.

    Katskinz quoted about $2100 through the site, including installation.

    Looking at leatherseats.com, I can do them for $1014. Add a little more for replacement seat heaters since those are usually bad when you try to change seat covers like this. And also need to add hog rings and pliers. Still cheaper. I'm not worried if the quality isn't as good as katskinz either, it'll be good enough for me.

    Wtf $2100?

    Our source installed the leather in our Mustang for under $900 total; it was custom too with perforated seat bottoms, center seat back, and contrast stitching.

    Oh man those are the dream steelies in that pic for the windows. Those windows are sweet. You know how convenient that would be to someone that uses the back and has a tire carrier? I got so tired of having to open the tire carrier to get to the back. But that's just my use, those would be hella convenient.
    But the leak, that sucks? You already pulled the plastic and traced it back to the window? I don't remember reading much about those windows leaking. It's not the diverter valve for the rear washer is it? Or the lines for that rear washer?

    Might be cheaper if I actually go to a local dealer, I dunno. leatherseats.com is $1200 for both front and rear, front perforated, 2 tone with contrasting stitching that matches the lighter tone I picked, seat heaters for both seats, hog rings, upholstery spray glue and hog ring pliers. That includes shipping.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    My diverter is broken, I unplumbed the rear sprayer. Maybe it's the piece of plastic trim under the windows, the flat one

    No, at least not for our 3rd party.

    It'd be the same for a Dodge, Kia, Nissan or Chevy etc.

    The company we use doesn't have a labor rate but instead a flat charge for us.

    @xtremewlr have you replaced leather seats yourself?

    I've only read about but never tried it. Would like to see pics when you do it

    I could see that being a possibility. Crazy that it's both sides

    No, I haven't. But it can't be too hard. I've checked out some youtube vids on it, just need to get a steamer to bring the seat foam back. I'd like to replace the driver side seat foam since it's gotten torn up from the hole in the leather on the outside bolster but they are hard to find and not cheap.

    I just paid an upholstery shop like 40 bucks to slide new covers on and add extra foam while at it

    It's not so bad on the passenger side, but the both sides make the edges of the rear carpet damp and the driver's side overwhelmingly so with even the little jack holder filling with water

    Wow, yeah that kind of quantity is definitely coming from the window. Seals old and cracked? That would seem odd in Washington to me, but something is broke/torn with the window seal somewhere. Which is what you were getting at in the first place :D
