I installed my seat heaters today it is just to cold here to be without them

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 husband & I do auto upholstery for a living so for us it was not to bad to install. I get the heaters form one of my distributors.

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

Maybe you could lead me in the right direction to get some heaters. Please?

I would also like to ask about the glue you used for oldschool automotice vinyl tops... I used to use a glue, for doing car audio, we got from an automotive upholstery wearhouse, it was almost flouresent green and thick, we called it gorrilla snot.. but have you ever seen a product similar to what i'm talking about?? 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...

Seat cooler would be better for me.

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?

did anything ever come of this? i was curious myself, particularly how hard it would be for us non-upholsterers lol
