I got a 2008 Scion XB and I want to get either leather seat covers for the 2 front seats and the bench seats or should I take it to a upholstery place where they can install the leather on to the seats and stitching it or can I order leather seats from a Toyota dealership?

Call the dealership that you got the xB from. Most dealerships have a company they recommend. I’ve never worked for a dealership that didn’t have an after-market source for leather interior.

If they don’t, email me and maybe I can help. Where do you live??

From your friendly Toyota/Scion Salesperson :)

Im trying to remove the backseat of my corolla xrs to put a seat cover on back there and i cant figure out how. i went looking in the owners manual and it said that there was levers in the truck that you pull to fold down the backseat, so i figured i would start there but turns out that the xrs model doesnt have them(it said something about the space was needed for something else). if anyone out there no’s of a way to get these seat out could you please let me no. Oh and to make things worse i have a built in speaker box in the trunk that im not sure if i can get out so if you no how to get the seat out from inside the car that would be helpful to!

You will need to remove seat bottom first just pull really hard on the front of seat and then when you get seat bottom out you will see to 12mm bolts that hold top on

I have a 99 Toyota Corolla, and it needed car seat covers bad.

I bought these ones that come with a piece for the headrest individually, so they require me to remove the headrest to install them properly.

How do you remove the headrest? Like, do you just pop it out? Is there a tool needed, or any pins in there?

Thanks for your help!

Sometimes there is a little button on the side. Typically you just use a little aggressive pull and it will come right out.

Ok so my dad got a 2007 toyota tundra and we just bought some seat covers for it.

in the back seat we are not able to push the seat covers all the way down.

my question is does anyone know what these black things are for?

I don’t know what they are called so i couldn’t find it in the owner’s manual.

kkthanks
the little black things behind the head rests.

They probably are the "tethers" for the LATCH system.

LATCH stands for :
Lower Anchors & Tethers for Children.
First pioneered by Ford & federally mandated in 1999 for ALL vehicles in the US

See : http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/cars/new-cars/news/2006/child-seats-latch-for-safety-8-06/overview/0608_child-seats-latch-for-safety_ov.htm

Sorry i had a hard time trying to find a photo of the Tundra’s tethers, but I think you can tell what they are.

Toyota got in trouble for NOT having the system on previous Tundras:

It’s a "Safety" thing here in the US

I hope this helps

The cover is for the center console storage between driver and passenger seats of a 2001 Toyota Carolla with a grey interior. I have looked around ebay and other stores online with no luck. Maybe some of you more experienced online car part buyers out there can help me. I just need to find a place with resonable prices for the part and for shipping. Thanks!
Again, just to clarify, it is the cover/lid/armrest/whatever you want to call the thing that goes on the top and covers the storage area that I am looking for, not the whole center console.

Try a good search and keep trying ebay new parts are showing up all the time.

Question One.

Can you put sheepskin seat covers over the seats if they have side airbags installed?

Question Two.

Can you get the cars seats recovered in leather if it has side airbags?

Question Three.

How much roughly does it cost to get the DVD Screens put into the headrests(4)?

Question Four.

Roughly how much would it cost to get the seats in my mums 2007 Toyota Tarago [Australia] (Previa). It’s an eight seater?

ThankYou

i know you can’t use carseat covers on seats with side airbags unless they are specifically designed for it and i’m guessing it would be the same with recovering you would have to find someone that knows how to do it and cop the extra cost.

Toyota Granvia Van. 2. seats are 2 single ones. 3. row a bench. How to take the seate out? They are all in a track mounted on the floor to move ‘em forward or backward Do I have to take the tracks out? and how? or dismantle the plastic covers on the seat fittings? and then pull them apart? Where to start? how long does it take?
The Granvia’s 2. & 3. Seat rows are not degined to be taken out as like as on a VW Van or so. There are no detachments, handles, clips or so. Even fixings for the tracks not seen.( only 1 at fhe front, but nothing happen after unscrewing) It seems to be very time consuming. Please help with discriptions how to take them out. I need the loading space.

I know on my plymouth voyager there are handles on the bottom of the backside of the third seat i have to press on the buttons on the handles to release metal clips from the brackets in the floor and then the wheels will go down and i can just roll it, to take it out, the two middle seats are the same way only they are not on wheels considering they are bucket seats so I can just pick those up with out any effort. so check to see is there are any type of handles around the bottom of your seats that will release them. other than that i do not know unless i could see the vehicle in person. good luck

The plastic cover hides the seatbelt mechanism and I need to get to it because I think some food fell in there and it is stinking up my car!

With a screw driver and force…..pop it off

scotch guard or anything else to protect my seats. I dont want to fool with seat covers. Any help is appreciated

Best place to get fabric protectant is at either an outdoor store (i.e. EMS or the like) or a leather store (i.e. Wilsons leather). They will have spay cans to use on the fabric, but be sure to let the windows stay down to let the fumes and sealant to evaporate as it does have a strong odor until it dries. You will also want to re-apply about once a year to keep up the protection.

Hope this helps.

I have a 2003 Toyota Matrix AWD. It has about 90,000k and is in great condition. It has remote starter, tinted windows, new stereo and speakers, vindow visors, seat covers, door sill protectors and bumper protector. If I decided to sell my car, how much should I be asking for it?
if you happen to know is Canadian dollars…that’s even better.

kelley blue book at kbb.com then calculate the money change
