I just finished replacing the leather on the seats on my 2001 LX470 so I thought I’d provide a couple of tips that helped me and things I wish I’d known going in. I chose to go with leather from LeatherSeats.com after doing research in advance and narrowing it down to Ridies, LSeat, and...

Oh yeah, that's not at all what I was picturing and that CA glue I suggested wouldn't tackle that level of separation. As TahoeZ suggested above, the 3M 5200 in black would be a good choice for that job. Good luck with the fix.

Please ignore that link. It looks like that product isn't available in the US.

Full disclosure, I have no personal experience with this product, but after doing a little research it seems like it might be worth trying on a small section of the plastic trim that's separated and go from there. Blue Rhine - https://www.bluerhine.com/products/sign-bond

I hate to do this to you, but any chance you could post a picture of the plastic trim separation? I'm having a tough time picturing it in my head.

Thanks very much for the update and the additional tips on the foam and the hog rings.

I'm going through the process of trying to figure out which seat covers to buy for my LX470 and I was wondering if you could post an update on your Leatherseats.com covers? Are they still holding up after a couple of years? Any thoughts on going with the full leather vs. leather/vinyl option...

Answering my own question here. I went ahead and ordered the iCarsoft CR Pro (not the Pro +) and received it yesterday. It does read AHC pressures and AHC sensor heights as well as a bunch of other stuff that I haven't investigated yet. So for those looking for an affordable alternative to...

I can't see who the vendor is, but I ordered from an outfit called JDMPlanet (out of Japan) and had no problems with the order. I think I came across them on eBay but I may have ordered directly from their web site. I can't recall which route I went for the order but one was slightly cheaper...

I'm glad it worked out for you. That's a great feeling when it finally breaks loose!

Ahh. Sorry, I didn't click on the link. I think I'll order one of those myself.

Like I said, I've got no experience with this method but I was thinking that if your strap wrench had a long enough handle or if you could get a cheater onto the handle, you could probably step on it to put your body weight on it. If that doesn't break it loose, I don't know what else you could do.

Man, I'm just throwing stuff out there at this point, but maybe a strap wrench for an oil filter or something like that? I sympathize with you though. I've been in exactly that position. I found myself with the LX up on jack stands with a cross threaded castle nut for a ball joint this...

ClassyJalopy responded to a post I made on Nov. 11th saying that he drilled through the globe and put a screwdriver through it then used a ratchet strap to break it free. He's included a couple of pictures to that post on Nov. 11th. I can't vouch for whether that would work or not, but you may...

Okay. Here's some pics but the dents are tough to see because they are right where the black moulding is. Hopefully you can get a sense for them. There are 2 dents that look to be about the same size.
