aftermarket seat heaters

johnnm · 03-25-2006, 05:00 PM

I'm trying to look into installing seat heaters/warmers in my car. Does anybody have any experience with this? Ideally I'd like it to be something I can put under the fabric, not a blanket type deal just sitting on top of the seat. Google wasn't very much help. I found this link - http://www.heatedseatkits.com/products.php, but wanted someone else's opinion on the matter.

They are not too hard to install.
Make sure you have a good pair of hog ring pliers, and a box of hog rings handy.
You will need to remove the seat covers, and in most cases, the seat will be comming out of the vehicle to do this the easy and right way.
Some factory seat covers may have areas that are sewn in areas that the stitching will need to be cut and re-sewn once you re-install the covers.
If you are not willing to R&R the seat covers, pull the seats and take them to an auto upholstery shop and have them pull the covers, then install the heaters, and have the shop re-install the covers.
