Nice addition... I'm sure your "seat" appreciates it.

That's one I should do. How difficult was it? Where did you get the parts for it?

My wife installed heated seats on her 03 Vibe. She did it herself I think.

It was specificly for vinyl tops??? I could swear I've been to your town... My Ex moved there and I help drive everything out there for her...

Don't ask me how to do it, because it was back in 03 and soon to be 2 cars earlier. LOLI'll be installing heated seats into the 08 STI once that arrives. can't do without them.

Yes we have upholstered the Recaro racing seats before.As for the gule I can get it by the gallons or 5 gallon pails. We use the milky yellow stuff but I can get the green glue also.

I can get them for $85.00 per seat. Plus for the fold flat seat the coil jumper is $20.00. These are not a universal heater they are made for the Vibe and Matrix Seat. We have been installing these seat heaters for about 5 years now and they are about the best on the market. So if you are intrested please let me know.

How difficult are they to install for a non-upholsterer. Any conflict with the airbag sensor on the passenger seat?
