The upholstery in your GMC vehicle is made up of the fabric which covers the padding and frame of the seat. Replacing damaged upholstery is a simple task that involves removing the old upholstery and replacing it with new seat covers. You can order a replacement upholstery cover from any specialist supplier. The covers come already cut to size and it is just a matter of lifting them over the seats and securing them in place. The job will take a couple of hours to complete.
