Default Katzkin question

I want to have Katzkin leathers installed in my 2010 crew cab. Does anyone know if the covers for the back seat accomodate the fold down arm rest or does it cover it up and make it useless?

SilverGorilla, I put Katzkin leather in my 99QC a few years ago. The rear seat did not have a fold down cup holder but the leather fit very well and was an exact match to the cloth that I removed. I did the job myself, but it was a lot easier than I thought it would be because the skins fit just like the factory cloth did. If you are going to do the install yourself, I would give them a call and make sure you ask them, but chances are if they offer the covers for your truck, then they would be an exact match. My only dissapointment was that the seats in my truck were already about 8 years old and I guess the foam padding was semi worn out, the leather never did fit real tight but it did look 100% better than the factory cloth even with a few loss areas. If I keep this truck long enough I will probably go with the Katzkin again. Jeff.

Thanks, jram99! I'm tempted to do it myself but I really want it to look as factory as possible. I also hate to lose the arm rest so I'll need to contact the dealer/vendor.
