The driver’s seat on my 2013 Lexus RX350 was torn, cracked, worn and ugly. Small leather/vinyl leather patches failed, so I replaced the entire piece of leather on the seat bottom. Removing the seat, I reused the original seat heater unit and padding. Attaching a custom-fit leather/vinyl cover with clips and hog rings, the seat is restored to an original OEM appearance. This DIY fix required 2-3 hours to complete. The project was far cheaper than replacing the entire seat, though. The same process can be applied to replacing the leather on the back of the seat. See links below to purchase supplies used for this project.

Who did you purchase your cover from
what does this material feel like? is it smooth like real leather or grippy like that fake leather they are selling now? And how well has it held up? Thank you.
Great job on the video. I can't find the link to where you bought the seat cover. Please let me know where your bought it. Thanks. Ron
Wow! Does that look like a pain in the a$$! Nice video though.
