So I finally got my leather seats in the mail. I don't have instructions so I printed out the roush ones. (No they aren't roush seats) but same principle.
But I was curious if anyone has made a HOW-TO with actual pictures instead of diagrams?
You know what aggravates me about our leather interiors... I have 60K miles on mine and it gets cleaned and conditioned as recommended by Ford and it looks worn. Yesterday i drove a 1993 Nissan Altima with 90K miles on it and the leather interior looked brand new. Saw a Caddy with 137K miles and the leather looked damn good with little signs of wear. What the heck is Ford's problem with the leather?? I have had several Eddie Bauer Expeditions and the same thing..premature leather wear....
A good leather should wear or atleast show stretch marks. I tshouldn't fade or come apart but it should show signs of wear marks (lines in the leather that aren't worn thourgh the hide). A lot a manufatures add plastics and other foreign materials to their leather which keeps the stretch marks from showing. I don't know if FORD seats are quality or not since I don't have them and I don't know how yours are wearing out.

mine the padding underneath is not able to support anymore. I am only 5'8" and 165 lbs so it isn't because I am too heavy. Both my Eddie Bauer Expeditions were the same way as well. My Mustang has the color wearing off / fading out on the side were the seatbelt comes across at the door open side. They are not holding the shape or wearing well in my opinion.
They were $499 for the leather look ones. I had heard reports of these ones holding up better than the leather so I opted to save a few hundred bucks on that advice.
Also the stitching is done with the same color as the insert for a more custom look.
Can u give me a link ? Im thinking about redoing my leather ones. Id like to see yours
