My Clazzio Leather Seats Install in a Gen4 4Runner

I just got done installing some Clazzio Leather Seat Covers in my wife's 2006 Toyota 4Runner. I ordered directly from clazzio.com. They took awhile to come. But they are nice! Well put together. Only had 2 minor snafus. One was a broken strap and one was a ripped velcro section. Took probably 4 hours total to install and it pretty easy. Some tips:

1) When tightening the straps, ONLY pull on the strap that does not have the buckle on it from the top (away from the buckle). Hold it tight and gently pull it through the buckle. I broke one of the buckles until I figure this out. Then I tried to thread the strap through the loop and ripped the loop out. THEN I put the strap through the leather where the loop was and was able to successfully pull it tight enough. Be careful.

2) Be careful when moving the leather holes over the head rest plastic on the top of the seats. They can rip.

3) Use zip ties to tidy up the bottom of the back seats. You will see in pictures.

4) Be careful what color you order :) The tan did not match as well as my wife thought it would. I have a picture of the color differences. I wish they had factor specific colors instead of generic.

Overall, very happy and they look great. My neighbor who does upholstery for a living saw it was and was quite shocked how good they were. Said they might put him out of business. The only area I didnt care for as much was the back arm rest area. Looks okay when it is down. Looks fine when it is up.

nice covers, but u need the gray color to match the interior, so how much did the seat cover cost? i was thinking about selling my wet okoles for the clazzio.

My wife thought the tan would match the door panels ect more. It was her car, so her choice. I wish we would have gone with grey as well. Oh well.

I paid $390.
