Coverking Seat Covers?

[gmansbu]

Anybody have any experience with them? I'm looking for a way to give my distressed leather a fresh look.

I was looking at the leatherette specifically. The price looks good. Any other complaints besides being a bear to install? I'm worried they'll look like cheap seat covers after being installed.

Do you have a link? I am also thinking about changing!

www.coverking.com. I kinda like the 2 tone grey/black, but I'm worried I might get sick of them over time.

I ordered mine thru AutoBarn. Still have not received them. Been about 4 weeks. They said that they were on the way. I got the black/gray to match the interior. Will let you know.

The only problem you will run into is the front seat heaters. On the OEM covers, the heating filaments are IN the covers themselves, just for the Front covers. You will have to either get OEM replacement covers or a whole new seat heater system for the front seats!!

I have the answer for getting the seats heating for new covers. Dragon and I had to solve that with Katskin sponsored stuff. We discovered also the heaters are made into the leather on OEM covers. You can use the heating
elements from a Silverado and I have the part numbers at Dragon's shop. Someone may want to PM Dragon for numbers. We only did the front seats because the guy who use to work for Dragon built the rear seat console so that it covered the controls to the heaters that are on back of front seat console. We will correct it later but, the guy had the thing built painted piano black and heavily clear coated before I walked up haven been gone and asked how are we going to turn rear captain heaters on and use the rear sound features and head set connectons. I got elements for rear as well. They come sealed and you just have to attache them in place while new cover is put on. Give me a day to get them on the forum if no one wants to Pm Dragon. Someone may be able to find out the numbers. I forget what year model the guy we had install the new covers told me they were off of. Price was not bad at all. I was thinking allot of money being OEM heaters. I'm not where I can get info right now.

I got put in hospital morning 11/7/07 for a runaway heart rate when they tried to do the EP Study with Abalation. It got so bad they had to shock my heart to get the rythim back. tower they put me on Tikosyn and Cumaden (spelling?) a blood thinner. I just passed a stress test with flying colors last week but, we suspected the rythim problem as was the reason for doing EP Study. It suprised all I think. I do not remember anything but, was told I was immediately heavily sedated before shocking me.

Now I have GI having to scope me for anything funny in GI tract. Hematologist wanting it done before he will OK blood thinner because of all the of GI bleeding during 2001-2003 etc.etc. by all Docs in line.

I feel better now than past 6 months after being on the Tikosyn with it regulating my heart rate now. I'm getting so much more oxygen uptake now it is unreal. It may not be for everyone but, I really say check it out if you are having heart rythim problems.

Thanks to those that knew I was going for this and have emailed me. I know things will be just fine. It was just a little spooky.

This is a good topic as i will soon be redoing the interior of my truck, more than likely with katzkin. The shop i contacted said the oem seat heaters would work.

Can the OEM heater controls be used with the Silverado elements??

Hi All,

Doing better and at home now but, really tired. My stomach muscles and back muscles across the shoulders are really sore from the jolt of shock. I see it on TV and must be correct as i can see if body jumps like that why i'm so sore. I still have to pin the cardioligist down and find out what happened. I cannot get clear on just a heart rate runaway or was I having to be paddled due to a heart stopping to runaway heart rate. He has not talked me but, told my daughter some things in waiting area but, when he mentioned heart shocked she has some medical training but, moved on to being a teacher with younger kids. Anyway she is young 20's and like me normally calm under any stress but, heart shocking almost caused her to forget much else doctor said and she got upset quick. She asked if he would talk to dad and her after recovery and I have not seen him since. Sent a nurse practioner to release me so I'm po'd. I will see him and he can hear what i think. I have other complaints about the situation.

I'm excited about moving farther down the line since I know my seizures and blackouts are caused by heart and appears with what i know may be an easy treatment. No more mind meds as they slowly take me off those. The seizure specialist says my brain waves are just fine and I do not need him. I do have a condition which most are familiar with called Restlless Legs Syndrome. Reguip did nothing for me and others as well did nothing. The neuro that sent me to other neuro will work with me on meds and says as bad as my RLS was it may get better if we get better oxygenated blood to legs. My RLS had been called the worst to deal with he had ever. So correcting that and heart improving with better blood oxygen levels I should have no more blackouts I'm told by seizure specialists as well as the stress of heart trouble and other neuropathy corrections i will at some point should get all my driving privileges restored. Man that would be great after an almost 3 year battle thinking I had damage to brain from years of bleeding. I feel like i can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm planning a strip racer now that it looks brighter. I thought about going back to sky diving but, then thought about my real first love, drag racing.

I will have have son in law take me to Dragons on Monday and get numbers for elements. Sorry not to get it done faster. While there I will get Dragon to get on forum and put them on or I will just get on one of the computers and do it myself. I have a login on his network but, have not used it in a while so may have to ask for it again. Anyway I'm sorry and will try not to let go past Monday as I know many would like this and new elements if remembering right did not cost allot.

The controls for heaters will work. The elements are supposed to match the H2's as far as power reguired and resistance in ohms etc.

The ones in the factory seats can be removed with allot of work. In some places the leather feels almost attached to the element. I will try and get part numbers so you can check pricing at Chevy dealers and maybe just on some online places, well Ebay even. I was reluctant on removing them when I saw how much damage to the leather and my seats had no use on them they were new as are all the seats. So I saved them as is, so i could put them back on later when i wanted to return the Mall Queen to regular duty after giving up the crown and let her turn into the Dirt Chick.
