Looks great! Wow I didn’t think you had to pull the seat out to replace the covers..? Or was that just your OCD... [emoji16]

FYI Chase, they don’t do the side cutouts because not all switch panels are the same, depending on options. So some need a big ol hole and some a smaller cutout. And yes, afaik you need to pull the seat to replace the cover guys, that’s how all the videos show and I know that when I did mine it was hard enough doing it out of the truck- I couldn’t imagine trying to do it with the seat installed.

I did the drivers side bottom with the seat in the truck. It was a pain in the ass. Way easier to do it with the seat out of the truck to be able to access the bottoms side and take the seat pan off the frame. That way you have access to all the wires and pigtails to disconnect and full access to get the rubber seating on the cushion all the way back in when putting the cover on. @Rocket Man , the fact that all the seats are different and they dont put a cut out in already For that reason still doesn’t make it any less irritating that I have to cut up brand new beautiful leather.

It does appear to be the same size and shape. However the bottoms of my mid row bucket seats are completely different than the fronts. The Mid row buckets have a full carpet like bottom and it’s all sown together as one piece.

I’ll post it but I know the seller on eBay was autoseatreplacement.com. Foam on the passenger seat was good. I replaced the foam on my drivers seat when I did the last cover a couple years back. So that’s still good on my drivers seat for this time around.

Here’s the link. I’d imagine they carry all the different covers not just my two tone Denali colors. And the listing also gives you the options for which seats you want covers for right from this listing. Front, rear, armrest, also different material choices as well and the foam cushions were listed as options too.

So I finally got my hatch glass swapped. Put some JB weld on the hinges of the replacement hatch to keep them from separating. Painted the third tail light base. Come out really good. Decided to paint the trim around the glass too. Came out a little rough as my masking job covered a few spots. But oh well. I like the look. Though I may sand the paint off the trim since it’s not perfect. But for now I don’t have to worry about my glass breaking because of the separated hinge. Here’s a few pics before the swap, separating hinge and the paint gone bad on the base cuz the shop did a crappy job on it:

And the replacement:
Now that I’ve had the both types of glass on my truck, I actually really like the older style with the trim around the glass. I like the handle for the glass integrated into the trim, below the glass, rather then a small plastic handle bolted through the glass on the 2005/2006 style hatch, which my truck had when I bought it before the esky hatch swap. I actually still have the factory hatch. Just sitting here taking up space in my apartment... lol @Rocket Man , wish you’d have told me you were looking for the 2005/2006 style YUKON hatch. I’d have GIVEN you mine! Lol

Looks good. I also like the older glass style--like on my 03.
