Agreed. Especially considering the -20f temps around here. I saved 70 bucks doing It myself. Not easy but not impossible. Just need patience.

At the dealership, I was quoted $110 for the part and $70 for labor.

This is an interesting job to say the least. Not too bad but I have never fiddled with upholstery to that extent before. Those hog rings take some practice to get used to. If you can handle something like a stereo installation this job is very doable IMO. Thanks a TON for the great write-up schwartzki!
