Katzkin Leather Seat Covers for Maverick

[volksnuts]

Maybe if you did some actual research before posting, you'd have some sort of understanding of why so many people are worried about voiding their warranty by personally removing and reinstalling the side airbag in the seat.

please enlighten me

I farted around with the katskin customizer and came up with this design. A twist on the lariat color scheme, and I think mine looks much better. I have done quite a bit of seat cover installs on classic cars, I need to see if katskin will just sell them direct without the installer fee. I will likely go with the XLT, install these and then stitch on a steering wheel leather cover from wheelskins.

I beg to differ. I suggest anyone with little experience watch some YouTube videos and see if they think it's something they can tackle. I'd equate it to doing a DIY clear bra or window tint. Definitely not for first-timers that are prone to cursing and/or back problems.



99% sure that's the case, especially for the ballpark of $1700. I think it'd be wise to shop around. Local upholstery shops (who will do the installation anyway) might be able to give you a nicer product and/or a lower cost.

I just got a quote from them and it was 2 grand for front end rear installed

I haven’t been able to find Katskin for the maverick without paying for installation as well.
i installed my own Katskinz kit on my 2015 escape from eBay, but we probably would have to wait a while for them to pop up now.

I did to go leatherseats.com and may just order these

I may contact Katzkin about installing them myself. I have done seat covers on classic muscle cars. These should be easier to do than that.

please enlighten me

On their FAQ page theres a question: can you install katzkin seat covers yourself? The answer given is no they have to be installed by an approved installer.

no reprocussions given in the answer. But you can assume based on that, that it would void the 3 year warrenty katzkin provides. I dunno why the guy who you replied to had so much aggression with his version of this answer

Its on their FAQ page. They dont want you to do it. But ive seen it done by lots of people on youtube. Choose your battles i suppose…

You need to go to an individual distributor. Prices will range 750-1k depending on how much piping, perforated, etc that you opt to get.

I can put you in touch if you would like

Look at f150 videos. It’s all pretty much the same.

Unbolt stuff, pop hog Clips, etc.

some heating and stretching on the headrest.

not recommended for the beginner.

no i dont need videos of the instal lol i want photos of people’s designs in the mav interior. I dont care about the DIY aspect of it. I just want to make a good decision for color scheme

Forgive my ignorance, but are these covers that just go over the existing material and zip up or something or do they remove your seats, remove previous material, and install this?

I was wondering the same.

If you go to the katzkins site, they will show you some options there of designs that are already common options.

here is an installed one:
