How difficult to replace seat heater pad? Posted by JerseySaab [Email] (#666) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JerseySaab) on Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:39:30 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I've just repaired my seat heater for the third time since I bought this car about a year and a half ago. The heating grid keeps breaking in the same general area - where one's butt slides into the seat - but in a slightly different place each time. My spliced sections are holding up OK but the heater wires are brittle with age and keep breaking.
I see that Eeuroparts has new seat bottom heating pads for about $110, probably worth doing next time it breaks. (I'm getting good at pulling the seat out and apart, but getting tired of doing it!) How do you R&R this thing? It looks like the grid is under a thin foam pad glued to the seat cushion. Just disconnect, peel up the old pad, and put the new one in place? What kind of cement, if any, to use installing the new one? Or does the replacement come with adhesive?
