Longtime lurker and hopefully new TCH owner in a week or two. Anyone with experience with Classic Soft Trim installations in the TCH or other cars. We are next in line to receive a TCH with cloth but would like leather. Are considering a sunroof as well. Quoted $1300 for leather and $1000 for sunroof which is similar to MSRP. I've read favorable reviews of CST but just wondering if there is any 1st hand experience. -c |

Replying to: cbear9494 (Jul 06, 2006 5:22 pm) Why this process works so well is that there are kits that they use, it's not like they are sewing and cutting patterns like I thought it would be. They get a box from a company called katzkin and everything basically just slides on. I went to the shop that installed mine to see how they did it, and then I realized all this is pretty routine and no big deal or mystery.

Replying to: cbear9494 (Jul 06, 2006 5:22 pm) I don't have any experience with their leather. However, I watched them do a couple of cars while I waited. They seem to use experienced staff vs. new kids off the street to do the work. Hope this helps! Of course, YMMV... |

Replying to: spiff72 (Jul 07, 2006 5:14 am) However recently Toyota CAT gave us some 'guidance' that we should no longer do this as a dealer since Toyota 'may' not be responsible for faulty deployment of the side airbags in the event of an installation error by an aftermarket firm. Thus we no longer offer this service at any price. If a client absolutely demands the leather installation we will direct him to the installer - outside of the transaction.

Replying to: kdhspyder (Jul 08, 2006 6:34 am) Hmmmm...interesting....so the dealers who don't do this and do keep this in the transaction are taking on the risk. Makes my decision a bit trickier. I wonder what the installation companies are going to say. -c
