Default Leather installation

Has anyone installed leather interior before. I was wondering because i just bought a Katzkin set for my 04 Dodge Ram. The seats have the Hemi chromed logo and the dealer said they install with velcro and zippers and no hog rings. Can anyone give some advise?

Get a good hair dryer. Warm the leather up with the hair dryer for a few minutes so it stretches and goes on easier. It's a snug fit pulling the leather on over the seat foams, but it's not too bad. Just be patient with it. You basically turn the leather covers inside out and roll them down over the foams. It's easier if you take the seats completely out of the truck and disassemble them.

Check out Feb. 05 Truckin' magazine, page 124. There's a how-to article to install a Katzkin leather interior.

Where did you get the leather kit? Do you have a website to go to?
