In this video, we’re tackling a common issue for Maserati GranTurismo owners: replacing the driver’s seat control cover and fasteners. Over time, if you tend to drop into the seat rather than easing in, it can put stress on the mounting pins and eventually cause the pins to break and even the panel to break away from the seat. We’ll guide you through the entire process, starting with the part numbers you’ll need for the cover and the fasteners, so you can order the correct pieces without any hassle. Along the way, I’ll share some tools used, tips, and tricks to make the installation smooth and avoid common pitfalls. I’ll also walk you through clearing any error codes that might pop up after you’ve disconnected the switches, so you won’t be left with any annoying warnings. By the end of this video, your GranTurismo will be looking sharp again, and your seat controls will be restored to their original factory original place.
