Video Transcript for Clazzio Perforated Leather Seat Cover Installaion - 2008 Dodge Ram Pickup

Today on our 2008 Dodge Ram pickup 2500 quad cab, we'll be doing an install of the Clazzio Perforated Leather Seat Covers in tan. Also available in grey. The Clazzio seat covers are a custom leather seat cover that contours exactly to fit your specific vehicle. It features memory foam inserts that provide a nice, cushioned ride. As you can see, the memory foam covers most of the underside of our seat covers. The leather is treated with an anti-bacterial and anti-odor coating. The seat covers are specially threaded to be durable, yet able to break in the case of an airbag deployment.

As you can see, it also has accommodations for all of your seat's accessories. First thing that we want to do is to make sure that our seat is nice and clean, because we don't want anything to get caught underneath there, before we put the covers on. We'll grab our driver's side seat cover, and we're going to turn it inside out, and we're going to lay it in position. We're just going to line it up with the pattern on the seat. We just want to make sure the cover is pushed all the way to the back, that way when we start folding it down, it'll conform to the seat. We'll bring it down, we're going to put our lever through the hole, bring it around.

You'll notice we're covering up our controls, here. We're going to deal with that just in a little bit. Let's go ahead and continue pushing it around our seat, working around to the front, here. We want to tuck this flap, here, in between the seat, bringing it all the way down, and we're going to pull it nice and tight from the back. Here in the back, here is our flap that we pushed through. What we're going to do is, we're going to pull that nice and tight, and what that's going to do is it's going to snug everything up up front.

I'm going to give myself some more room to work with, so I'm going to slide my whole seat forward. We want to connect our hook and loop, here. This portion here needs to be connected to this. We're going to pull that nice and tight, tuck it underneath a little bit and then cross it over just like that, and then the same thing on this other side. Now, let's tie up our string.

The string is all one piece, so we want to make sure to pull it nice and tight, but not too tight, because we don't want to tear it. It's going to help conform around the front of the seat. We'll get our knot started. Now we can kind of bunch up and tuck our excess string out of the way. Let's see how it looks up front. Perfect, looks good. Now, we can go ahead and cut out our power seat buttons. It's important to note that the hole has to be smaller, that way we can tuck it around. I'm actually going to go ahead and grab a marker and just make a little outline for us, that way we can follow it. Basically, I'm just going to be cutting around the buttons themselves. I'm going to grab a knife with a brand new razor blade, I'm going to be extra careful, that way I don't damage the buttons underneath. I'm just going to make small incisions, and follow my line, there we go. Now, we can take our included tool and tuck it around our housing. We'll start at the top and start tucking it around, and then, as you can see, it's really going to give that custom fit look. There we go, perfect. For our seat back portion, let's go ahead and remove our head rest. We'll push in on the button, and just simply take it off. I've gone ahead and moved the seat forward, that we can get more room to work with, here. We'll grab the back portion of our seat, and we're going to do, technically, the same thing, just kind of turn it halfway inside out. We can set it in position, and work our way down. As you see, we're going to be covering up our dial, here. No big deal, we'll worry about that later. As we start to get to the bottom, here, we're going to tuck our little flap through the seat. Here in the back, you can see the flap that we pushed through, let's go ahead and give that a nice pull, just to help tighten things up in the front. Once we've got it through, we're going to tuck it up underneath here, and fix the hook and loop just like that. Back up here where our headrest was, let's go ahead and grab our handy tool and bring our fabric around to where our holes are. Back to our dial, we're going to do the same exact thing as before, we're just going to cut a small hole, and then tuck it behind. I'll take my marker, draw myself a little outline. If the hole is too small, no big deal. Better cut smaller, and then go bigger as you need. We're just going to do the same thing as before, tuck it around. For our headrest, we need to make sure that the cover matches the conformity of the headrest. That way it goes on correctly. We're going to put it on like this. What we're going to do is turn it inside out. We'll put our headrest back on, followed by our cover. As we get it on, we just want to fill all of the gaps, making sure that it takes shape and it's not crooked, then let's go ahead and take it back off and connect it together. Here on the underside, you can see we need to connect our two pieces together, so I'm just going to finish moving and rotating the pad around, just to make it a little bit easier for us. I'm going to bring it over, tuck the piece of plastic through here, and then turn it over, just like that. We can just kind of tuck our flaps in, on the side, and then we've got it. Let's put our headrest back in place, and then we've got it. With both our driver and passenger seats done, let's go ahead and turn or attention to our center console. It's going to be four pieces, total. We can move on to our back rest portion first, that's going to be this right here. Please note that the back of the back rest, which is this portion right here, that already has vinyl or leather, will not get a cover, so keep that in mind when choosing your color. We'll raise it up, we'll bring in our appropriate piece. We're going to undo all of the hook and loop, these straps as well. We're going to raise it up, we'll have it slightly opened at the bottom, as you see there, and then we'll pull it down. Pull all the way down until it starts to conform on the sides, then we're going to lower it down, and bring this top piece around back. We'll stop it right there on the corners. With that piece around back, let's go ahead and open up our console and finish bringing up the sides, here. We can then attach our hook and loop. We want to make sure our holes are lined up so we can relatch our console. We'll get it centered up, bring it down, give it a good push, and we should have it. Then we can lift up our seat, and we'll finish tucking our tab in, and push it down through the back of the seat, just like that. Then we'll lower it down, and, as you can see, our tab is pushed through. We'll give it a nice tug just to help tighten things up, and then attach it to this hook and loop here, just like that. Next, you'll want to grab the piece that looks like a bib, and we're going to tuck this portion here, down through the seam here. I'm just going to lay it out like that, and tuck it down through. Once we've got it straightened out, then we'll take the top two tabs and tuck them through this seam here. We'll do the tab end first, and then we'll go around back and pull them both through. We don't want to pull on it too hard, because it'll just come right out if we do so, so once we get it in that position, we'll just let it hang there for now. Now for our seat cushion portion, we're just going to raise it up, just like this. It'll slide right over top. As you can see, it's just going to slide right over our handle, work our way down, and then it's just going to pop out right here. Once we get it pulled down all the way, we can then raise it all the way up, and then we're going to connect our hook and loop down here at the bottom, just like that. There we go. Then we can come up here and tuck the fabric around with our handy tool. Work our way around, just like before. If it's easier for you, you can just remove the latch, simply undo these two screws here, take if off, and then put it back on over the fabric. With that being done, let's go ahead and lower it down and check it out. For our next piece, the one that looks like a cummerbund, we're going to have it so the curved edges are facing down. Let's raise up the bottom portion of our seat again, and the spot with the two creases, here, is going to go in the front, like so, then we'll feed our two flaps around to the back. We want to make sure to get around our seatbelt, then we can take our hook and loop strap, and we can get it started. Don't worry about trying to get it too tight, this is just kind of help hold it in position for now. We'll bring our flaps around, and then we're going to attach it to the bib-like piece here, just like that. Pull it nice and tight, and connect it together, just like that. Now we'll come back to our hook and loop strap, and we're going to get it real nice and tight, to help it conform to the edges. We'll undo that, bring it around, pull it tight, and then reconnect it. There we go, let's test it out. Now for our back seat, we're going to start with the double seat portion first, where our butt goes, here, the bottom cushion. We'll grab the portion that corresponds, we'll make sure the hook and loop is undone, and then we'll get it lined up. Once we do so, then we can lift up the seat and continue putting it on. Now we can pick it up and we'll begin to pull it down. Once we get to our seatbelts, our seatbelts are actually just going to lay on top of the seat, so we don't need to worry about bringing those through any holes or anything, the holes that are actually on the cover are for the anchor points for child seats and such. We'll make sure to go underneath our seatbelts, we'll tuck our flap down between our seat here, and then pull it down underneath. Now we can attach our hook and loop, so we'll bring around our flap underneath, bring our top one down, and then just kind of work our way down. With it all connected, we can fold it down, make sure it's nice and smooth, then we can move on to our backrest. First thing we need to do is take out the headrest. We'll bring it around, and I'm going to kind of turn it inside out a little bit here, right around the corners. Make sure the hook and loop is undone. For this piece, it's actually going to go behind the seat and down through the bottom, so let's start there. We'll feed the strap first. Once we get it started, we can lift up our bottom cushion and grab that pull strap. Once we start seeing it down there we can kind of unfold it and kind of help it down. We'll bring the seat back down. We'll work our way around, bring the seatbelt out, and once again this is just going to get tucked behind the seatbelt itself and go underneath. We can grab our tool, and we'll just tuck it in around our seatbelt housing. Bring it around, pull the corner around the seat, then we're going to take this strap here, that's at the bottom of our corner, we're going to drop it down between the seats, like here in the back, that way we can also grab that down below. We can tuck the rest behind there, then when we get down to the bottom, let's go ahead and tuck our flap in, it may also help to raise the seat up when doing so. As we work our way over, and then down, we'll pull on our strap at the bottom, to help guide down that last corner down there. After we get that, we'll work our way down, pulling that tab through. Once we get closer over here, we'll turn our attention back towards the headrest, and we're going tuck that in with our tool. When we get those tucked in, we'll work our way over to the corner here, and tuck that in, as well, make sure it kind of conforms nicely. This strap over here is just like our other one. We're going to tuck that around back, so we can reach it underneath, and then it's going to help us pull it nice and tight. Same thing here, we want to make sure we can reach that tab here in the corner, and then pull it down, and as we do so, it should conform nicely. Once we get everything pulled down nice and tight, just note that these straps here we're just to help us guide everything down around back. We're just going to connect the hook and look from our first piece that we slid down to the hook and loop here, and that's going to hold everything together. Bring it down and just connect it, just as simply as that, and then as far as the straps, we can just kind of leave, tuck underneath there. Let's fold it down and see how it looks. I went ahead and installed my headrest seat cover, just the same way as we did up front, let's go ahead and put that in place. I've gone ahead and installed the other backseat. It installs pretty much the same way as the double seat. That's going to complete our install of the Clazzio Perforated Leather Seat Cover in tan, on our 2008 Dodge Ram pickup.
