Clazzio leather seat covers!

Are there any group buys or discount codes for ordering these bad boys?

 

“tacomaworld” $100 off!

 

Tacomaworld as discount code

 

Is that only for the leather? It’s telling me the code is invalid.

 

May be not sure

 

Just get the leather

 

First post here will have one for 10% off a lower order amount:

I received email confirmation today from Clazzio that the drawstring was deleted from the power driver seat this afternoon so you are correct.

 

Even a broken watch is right twice a day.

 

is this the dark gray? hoping they get some black inventory in I can snatch up

 

Just a short update on my Clazzios on my 2017 SR5. After four full years of wear and tear the covers are going strong with a wee bit of cracking but nothing worth noting. One word, impressed.

 

Got my Clazzios yesterday. Just wanted to let those that are considering the dark gray know that the color matches the color on the swatch sheet (2nd from left). They are darker than the pics I have seen here. Unless I got lucky and got a darker shade! But it’s hard to capture the color on an iPhone.

 

I've spent about a week browsing the past 100-ish pages of this thread, and finally started my install yesterday. I got the rear seats done, minus the headrests, and they look great so far (black/black/black perforated leather). I used the "plastic on top" method for the rear seatbacks, and I'm really happy with how they came out. There was a post a couple dozen pages back where someone created a template out of cardboard to know where to cut (I'm sorry, I forgot who posted it). I used that same method, but I cut "T" shaped holes in the covers instead of simple "slit" shaped holes. The plastic seat backs were a little difficult to re-install, but not terrible (and I didn't need longer screws), so I'm pretty sure it helped.

With any luck, I'll find some time to work on the front seats this weekend. I also have the heated seat kit to install, so it's going to take a little time. I'll be wiring the heating pads to the cigarette lighter circuit - I had previously removed my cigarette lighter from the dash when I installed a Meso lower switch panel, and the wires are just sitting unused behind the dash.

Obligatory photos:

 

Finally had a chance to finish the install and got the heated seats all wired up. I'm already in love with these things! My son had Tom Nook and Isabelle try them out, and they both approved

 

Update 10/12/21: Got the headrests on (it helped me to use the little plastic tool to tuck the end into the J channel, just be gentle), the console on (added about an inch of foam rubber and it tightened it up nicely-thanks to the person that posted that advice in this thread), and the passenger seat covers on (unbolted the seat and unplugged the battery/electronics under the seat; it helped to get everything nice and tight).

Looks good. Pics when I am through, which may be a while. I feel like I wrestled a grizzly today but I'm 63, arthritic, and always go beyond my limits (aka, stubborn!). Good advice is to be gentle as you are stretching. Stretch it slowly and from side to side and do it as symmetrical as you can. It does help to warm the pieces in the sunshine. I may park in the sunshine when I am through just to warm things up and get that last perfect fit. JIC I screw up, I did pay for the extra warranty.

Thanks to the posters on this thread and some Youtube videos, especially

Thanks in advance to @Alby22 (post #4721, p. 237 for the great pics showing how to replace the plastic cover on the rear seats and for answering my question so quickly) and @evdog (post #4443, p. 223) for video showing how to remove back seats.

Update 10/19/21: Finally got all of the seat covers installed. I took every seat out to do the install and sat them in the truck bed so I wouldn't have to bend over much to do anything. I don't see any reason to post the completed job since I would be repeating what others that installed grey/grey/grey covers have shown. I have the power driver seat and took the plastic rim off to get a better install. Warming the covers in the sunshine really helped and I just carefully stretched, stretched, pulled, manipulated, cussed, and kept at it until they were seated as perfectly as I could get them (which was pretty damn near perfect lol).

I did put the plastic covers back on the rear seats, using @Alby22 method and making "T-shaped" slits as someone else did in this thread (#5038 above). The leg of the "T" was toward the bottom of the seat. It makes sliding the cover back much easier.

I'm having trouble attaching images and inserting text so I'll just try to explain each:

Image 1 is showing the template I used for the larger portion of the rear seat. I placed the template on the back of the seat after removing the plastic cover. I lined up and then punched holes, corresponding to the screw holes in the seat, in the template. I used those holes to later punch holes in the seat cover after it was on the seat and made to fit.

Image 2 is showing the flipside of the template on top of the back side of the plastic cover. I used nails going through the template and the matching screw holes in the cover to line things up. The 3 holes only line up one way so make sure all 3 are lined up correctly.

Image 3 shows the template folded back (I made a crease in it so it would fold) so that I could put oil on the projections. Then I just followed the instructions given by @Alby22, with the exception of making the T slits. The plastic cover slid back on fairly easily. I had more trouble trying to get the screws to stay upright while placing them into the holes at the bottom of the pits in the plastic cover (the magnet in my screwdriver sucks). Once I got that done, I screwed down the cover and it was back on!

Image 4 shows the smaller portion of the rear seat with the cover on.

I was tuckered out after each day of installing things but these covers fit very well and the results are fantastic. I hope they last a long time because I'm getting too old to tangle with that kind of work again! They seem to be high quality so I think they will last. I am very, very satisfied with the outcome, @Clazzio! If there are any questions about my poor explanations, let me know. There are many great suggestions in this entire thread, so thanks to you all!

 

I came here to see what the Beige stitching looked like and my man had it just one page back!

Looks great.

 

Finished installing my covers. See post #5040, p. 252. Thanks to all!

 

Sick. Which type did you pick?

 

Whats type is the closest thing to these?

 

Well after two days of fighting with them, I was able to get mine installed. Echoing what most on here are saying, that it is definitely worth the effort!

I ended up going the route of taking my seats out (both rear and front) and I believe it was a bit easier doing it that way. I couldn't imagine attempting to tighten things up with them in the truck still. I also went the extra step and retained the plastic backing on the rear seats. It was a little nerve-racking slicing into a new investment but it turned out just how I wanted.

I suppose if I had to call out anything it would be the center console. Maybe it's just my OCD but I can't quite get it to fit snug like everything else. I even went the route of undoing the inner piece, poking holes for the screws in the leather and attaching it that way. I saw a few people suggested a piece of foam underneath will give better results so I may try that. If that doesn't cut it, I may go with a redline goods product.

Besides that, If I had the choice to do it again I wouldn't hesitate with Clazzio but I'd probably go for an embroidered logo on the front seat headrests. (If you're on the fence about that just do it)
