Yeah, I'm sure once they get hot they will conform more to the seat...at least that is what I've heard. Also, I steamed them a bit to help them strech, and the pictures are literally within an hour of the seat backs being put on. They should tighten up. The pictures seem to "exagerate" the loose look, in person it's not as noticable. Not sure what you mean about the rear door panel. If you are talking about the "black looking" rectangle, that is part of the Denali Blackwood interior kit. I have the factory Denali wood bezel, with a few other pieces on the dash and console. It also included the 2 pieces for the rear door(s).

Let me know what you think of these. Id like to get a two tone seat cover for my truck and it seems like this would be good.

I think they look cool, but would rather have something like this: This guy also has some Yukon FULL kits for like $200, check his other auctions. Even if you didn't need the whole Yukon kit it would still be a deal. There are some great deals on leather interiors on Ebay....if you can catch them. This guy has a bunch of them all the time, and so does the guy I got mine from. You just have to wait to catch your specific make, model, and color choice.

damn, looks good.
my uncle owns an auto upholstery shop and was telling me he could get a kit for about $300-325 and slap it in for me. just might have to do it.
yeah my uncle has been doing it for 30+ years and i don't envy him whatsoever.

You' ain't bullshiting about sore fingers. I'm not a little guy, 5'9 / 205lbs. and consider myself fairly strong (over 300 lb bench press), and I WRESTLED the CRAP out of these suckers. I don't see how a little guy could do it. But I'm sure there is some little asian lady at an uphostery shop somewhere who could have done the whole job in about an hour. I guess it's knowing the "secrets", and I don't know any. My fingers feel like they have been shuffling razor blades!

If you can get a "Pro" to help you, do it! That sounds like a great deal on the parts also.

Do these covers tend to tighten up on warm days or cold? They seem like they are getting tighter, but I would think that heat would make them looser? What do you guys use to "treat" / care for your leather?
