You can always try ebay, Pick-A-Part, or salvage yard for seats. the front seats from 2007 - 2009 tahoes, yukons, yukon XL, suburbans, Sierras, and silverados should fit. One thing you can do is to get the Leather Seat Kit from www.Katzkin.com . you would remove your seats from your tahoe. then remove the cloth and install the leather covers in its place. I have also seen factory leather kits on ebay too. you can do a search on here and i believe some one can give you more details on how to do it. Hope this helps.

Why not have your cloth seats re-upholstered? I had mine done at a shop that all the dealers use. Cannot tell that they did not come from factory with leather.
Ask your local dealers who they use for upholstery.

I think retail was around $900 for bench front/back (no 3rd row). However, I knew about the problems with the cloth seats (there's a TSB) when I ordered my Tahoe so I had in the contract that the dealer would pick up $500 of the price to have the seats reupholstered in leather.
If you're looking to cover only the two front buckets I would think that would be less money than actually replacing both seats.

And I think reupholstered seats are cheaper than leather. And you can customize it if ever, much personalized than leather. There are lots of truck parts discount stores out there where you can make and choose what you want.

Hello- Iam new to the site. Just bought a 2011 Tahoe with 28000 miles. Looking for tips for the replacement of a front seat cover. Is removing the front seat out of the vehicle the only option? Iam replacing the passanger seat cover (cloth)-thanks
