Clazzio Custom Seat Covers - Leather - Front and Rear - Black

Video Transcript for Clazzio Custom Front and Rear Seat Covers Installation - 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Adam What's going on, everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're taking a look at the Clazzio leather seat covers on our 2016 Ford F-350. If you are wanting the best of the best when it comes to your seat covers, the Clazzios are gonna be what you want. These things are amazing. They look factory. They are made of real leather.

They're gonna have some breathable material. So they have a little bit of foam underneath here, so it's gonna give you a nice, comfortable ride. But it also has some antibacterial material, which is just gonna prevent it from kinda retaining all that moisture and kinda getting a little bit of mold buildup. You don't have to worry about that with these. These aren't gonna be ones that you can take off and wash.

This is literally converting your cloth seats to leather. It's amazing. The front looks great. I love the front. We even did the center console, which is cool.

It comes with the headrest, of course. And you come around back, you can see how the backs look. I just think this looks amazing. Those we're all cloth seats. This is actually a work truck and there was a lot of stains on the cloth seats.

But with this, it's gonna be a lot easier to clean up. If you have pets, it's gonna be a lot easier to get that pet hair out of there. And if you just don't like the look of cloth seats, which I don't, these look great and they feel just like factory. When it comes to colors, we went with black just because it kinda matched the truck. We have a little bit of gray accent, so I thought gray was gonna be a little too much. But if you want gray, we have gray. If you want light gray, we have light gray. We have beige as well. But black is what I chose for this specific truck. Notice all these little holes right here, so it's gonna have a breathable material and we actually do have heated seats underneath this, and we did test it, and it still heats you up pretty good. And if you notice on the edges, kinda back towards you guys, they are a double-stitched seam. So this is the seams that you usually see on the factory leather seats. So it really does do an amazing job of tricking you to think that these things are factory. You know, it all slides down through here and it's an extremely tight fit. But as you can see, these things literally look factory. It isn't really limiting your truck at all. We still can access all the little compartments. And I like how it's kind of all the sleeve design, so it all slides all the way over. It's not just the top. So it has a nice tight fit. We have a really, really strong hook and loop on the bottom, which is really needed to keep this nice and tight. Does a great job, does a great job. We have it for that. And we also, all of our little latches are still accessible. And we have one for the center console. We have one for just everything else. It really is very, very cool just to see how they really cover every single area and not just the seats. We even have one for the center console in the back, and that's always nice to see just so you don't just have one big spot that's not covered. So every little area is covered. And even with all the latches on the sides, you still have access to it. It still works properly. Even on the sides down here, we have all this. It all works out. And even with our little pockets here. A lot of the times, you get some nice seat covers. Some of 'em don't have pockets, and I don't like that because this is something I really want in my car. Usually, it kinda holds a lot of stuff for me. But just having that option to put stuff there is very, very clutch. All in all, check these things out. They look great. They look great. It was kind of a pain to install, gonna be completely honest. This isn't gonna be a really quick install for you. It took us a couple hours to get these on and your hands are gonna feel it. But it's a one-time install and trust me, it is worth it. So if you wanna kinda follow us along with the install process, you can kinda see me struggle a little bit. But trust me, now that I'm done, I'm so happy that I went through the process. And now, look at the result. 100% worth it. First things first, we want to find the corresponding seat cover for the seat that we're doing. So all you gotta do is kinda just look at this tag. So on the driver's side, we need 22. So that little black number is gonna let you know where it is. Just look in your instructions. It'll tell them where it goes. So what we wanna do is kinda turn this thing inside out. Kinda like this. And then, we're gonna take this section, and then we're gonna slide it in between our seat and our back rest. We have some heaters in here we're putting underneath here. You won't have those. But if you do, we have 'em here at etrailer. Just do your best to kinda push this in. Your hands are gonna kinda hurt a little bit, but that's what you get when you get a seat cover with a nice fit like this. Push it all the way to the back. And then, we can come around back and kinda just get one section that you can grab, and then kinda just wiggle it through. And then, we just wanna pull this as much as we can. And once that's done, you can also take the strings and pull them through too. With these strings, we wanna pull 'em kinda at the same time. We don't wanna tie 'em up yet. Just make sure they're back here and ready to go once we're done. So now, we can kinda start folding this over, just like that, all the way around. We can tuck this in. We wanna get this as far down as possible. While we're doing that, there's gonna be a little slit right here for the little seatbelt just like that. Tuck this all down. Make sure it's nice and tight. And then, on the outside edge, it is gonna get a little tough on your hands so we do have a tool. Let me take this tool and kind of push all this excess down. Well, we wanna get it in there toward this line. It's gonna be lined up with that plastic piece as best we can. We wanna give this a nice another little tug and make sure it's pulled down as much as you can do it. And then, we have these two strings, do our best to kinda tie these up. And you pull at the same time 'cause it is one string. It goes all the way around. Once it's nice and tight, do your best to tie it up. And then, all the excess we're gonna just tuck that up, and then we're gonna tear this off. Once it's tore off, check that up. Stretch it and put it down. And we're gonna repeat that process for the other side, along with all of the other sections of our covers. For the top section, we're gonna wanna take these off and set those aside. With this, what we're gonna do is we're gonna find the opening and actually gonna kinda turn it inside out. Not completely, just enough. Just so you get that top section going. So once you get this turned inside out, you can kinda go up top. Make sure you know where the front and the back are. Okay, kinda like that. And then, we can go ahead and kinda slide this over. Like that. We wanna kinda try to line up the holes. Once that's nice and tight, we can start rolling this down. I find it easiest to kinda sit up on top and do one side after the other. And again, you're gonna need to use some force. Just be mindful. Keep your ears open. Make sure you're not ripping any of the seams or anything like that. I also found kinda keeping this loose, making it go up, you can access it from the side a little bit better. Work it on down. When we're tucking the bottom part to the back, lay it all the way back. That gives you the most access. It will take a lot of force to get it through there, to be honest. You can push it as much as you can. Take this tool, try to get it all the way through. But you don't wanna push too hard so you don't rip anything, But just do your best to get this all the way through and to the back. Use your hands if you need to, but my hands are just a little too thick. This is a pretty difficult part. But if you just have patience, you should be able to get it all the way through. It's really difficult getting the bottom side out the back so what I did, I could see it, so I actually took needle-nose pliers and slid it in there and just pulled. Be super careful when you do that, but I got it out enough to where I can really grab it and pull out the rest of it. But now, all we really need to do is just kinda fold this up. And there's gonna be Velcro on the underneath of here. So hold it up, pull it down, and then connect the two. And then, we're gonna do that the best we can to make sure it stays nice and tight. For the headrest cover, I have found it's easiest obviously just to put it in there. So at least, it's not gonna move on us. And doing it from the back is best 'cause you can pull this way. When you go forward, it does that. So this is a little bit easier. We wanna find which way is front, which way is back. Well, I found that the seams are a little bit closer together on the back. So this is the back and that is the front. So this takes some time as well. You kinda have to try to condense the foam down to get it nice and seated in there. But it just takes a lot of maneuvering. There's not really a good, best way of doing it. Basically, just work your way around town and get it down and on there. Holding your finger on the inside and kinda pulling down prevents it kinda from rolling. Slowly but surely, you can get these things on there. Just like that. Okay, cool. So let's make sure it's nice and completely down. Give it a couple slaps. And now, kinda lean it like that. Basically, what we're gonna do is pull this in. Open that lip up. And get this fit into that slot. Just like that. Cool. This is probably the tightest of all the pieces that you gotta put on. But once it's on, it looks good. The holes down here aren't that big, but you can actually work 'em around and get 'em fitted underneath like that. So do that 'cause it really gives it a nice OEM look. Then, you can access your buttons really easily. Now, for the center section, it is easiest to kinda go like this for now. I'm just gonna slide this guy over. We wanna make sure that we have this little opening on the bottom. That's gonna be for our latch that's right here. So make sure that's all good. It is gonna be a little difficult Try to get one side going. This is gonna be a little bit easier with someone else. Hopefully, I can get it to where it doesn't slide off the other side. So just work your way around. Just get it started. Slide it on down. Make sure this little handle is gonna be exposed. Just like that. Kinda fold it down. And now, kinda set this back and work it into this little gap. Put it down a little bit. Get that in there. So we do have a little piece of carpet right here. We can kinda bend it back and go underneath of it. And to do that, so we don't really have to cut anything, you should be able to access it from the bottom now. So now, we can grab this piece here. You wanna pull it tight. Do the same thing over here. Perfect. For the center console, we're gonna have a little zipper on this one. You can take that off. And notice, we're gonna have this little loop. So what we wanna do is we're gonna take this loop, put it around like that. Find our holes up top. This little zipper is gonna go underneath our seatbelt like that. And then, we can work it on down. We do have a little gap right here for our little latch. So make sure that's all lined up. Get this on. And just get it nice and tight just like all the other ones. You just wanna feed this through underneath. It might be a little bit easier when we kinda tilt this thing back, kinda like that. So once that's all through, what I'm actually gonna do, take this. Kinda go around. Hide the tag. Just get it to where it's nice and fitted to where we want it. And everything seems to be right. Once that's done, kinda take this and fold that little loop over and connect the hook and loop on the side. So now, we can take our zipper. We wanna be really gentle with this. You wanna rip the zipper, kinda get it started. Don't just use the zipper to get everything together. We really wanna take our time with this and make sure the zipper's nice and close together when we start zipping. Just so we're not stressing that too much. There you go. Everything's fitting pretty good. Now, our little center counsel lid. We have another little piece and we just have a hole down at the bottom. So open that up. Get it in there, and then kinda stretch it to the side and pull it down. Just like that. You definitely wanna go from side to side. Just work your way down. Once that's down, you wanna get the latch in there You're gonna roll it. Helps a little bit if you get it kinda like that. You see that line's nice and straight Everything's lining up, especially the corners. And once that's done, give it one last little pull. And pull these ends right over the end. And you gotta roll it a little bit just to get this seam nice and lined up on the edge. Then, we are pretty much good to go. We wanna make sure it latches, which it does. We'll go ahead and kinda push all this down to get all these little plastic pieces up and through the cover. And then, you can put your headrest back in and we're just gonna install the headrest cover just like all the other ones. So the back, we already installed the one closer to you guys. But we have the bigger section here. I've found that it's kinda easiest to tilt this up, like that. And then, just getting it on one side a little bit just so it's not gonna come up. You can kinda pull it to this side. We do wanna make sure that this latch is gonna be on the outside of our cover. I basically just kinda picked it up and just took it on both sides, got it down into place. We shouldn't really have a whole lot of excess on this side. So now, we can do our best and try to get the rest of this cover tucked in behind all this. Now with that back there, you're gonna need to kinda tilt it, work it back with your right hand. And your left hand can be back here, kinda pulling it through. We have a little toolbox right here, so it makes it a lot more difficult than it needs to be. But it's not impossible. If you wanna make it a little easier on yourself, you can take it out. I'm just curious to see if we can get it all done without having to do that. We ended up taking these red strips out and putting 'em on here. That way, it's not gonna give us near as much trouble 'cause it really wants to stick to the underneath of the seat. So that's a little tip for you. I don't throw 'em away. I use 'em throughout the install. Whenever we're doing the back on the seatbelt side, look down here. So what we can do is on the little edge, there's a little hole right here. So what we wanna do, take a pin that's gonna fit. Now, take it. Push it in, ah ha ha, so we can get this out. So we're gonna need to do that when we're installing this just because there's no other way to get the seatbelt out, and we wanna make sure we can still use it. So quick tip from Adam. Now, let's pull this down. We need to take our headrest off, and then find the hole, and that's gonna go in the middle section. So piling this up, there's hook and loop at the bottom we're gonna have to undo and kinda get started. Like that. And again, just work your way down. Work your way down. Now that, that's done, we're gonna have a little bit of excess. So open this up and kinda tuck it all in there, just like that. And once that's done, you guys can see what I did on the other side. Basically, the latch that controls the back, this one right here, there's a little hole there. Just like for our headrest, you can just go ahead kinda slide it over top of it, and then kinda push it down. You don't have to take this off. All you gotta do is just slide it on in there, and it should fit. So now that, that's done, we have one main piece left. And that is for our little center console thing. So what we wanna do, take this open like that and slide it on over. And once that's on, that's basically it. We do have a little hole here, which you can pull this through, just like that. Give you an idea of where it's at. Just line up the corners real good. Then, we can do the same thing back here. Kinda get it started, especially the corners. And then, put your hand in there. As you rotate it back, you should be able to grab it to get it really tight. We do have a pretty big seam here. So that's what is gonna help this go back behind this little trim piece. Again, just take the tool that was included, kinda get it all back there. It's not gonna go back there really nicely yet, but once you kinda get all of it in there, it should be a pretty tight fit. Now, we just do the headrests, and that is the last two pieces for our Clazzios. And that'll do it for our look at the Clazzio leather seat covers on our 2016 Ford F-350..
