seat heaters

Postby tigger » Wed, 28 May 2008 8:02 +0000

Hi Folks,

Well thanks ummm for posting up the stuff from Moss!! Now its got me thinking! What i need for winter since i have leather seats is seat heaters!!

Would it be very very hard to take off the leather in the seats to be able to put the pads on in the correct locations??
Anybody any ideas, or is it a good idea, its 125 bucks per seat!!!

Thank ya, baby hot hot hot!!

Tigger,

What about the much cheaper, and almost as effective, alternative of a couple of rubberised hot water bottles from Pennys - I think they are about 5 squidlies a pop.

Of course, you could really splash out and get the "character" ones in Dunnes (€7 aeach), which have soft furry covers in the shape of different creatures....

Is this a heater that heats the seat base and seat back?

I would say that it would be fairly easy dude, Don't think you will have to completely remove the covers either, just get them off enough to slid in the wires and pads.
If i was closer i would be more than happy to give you a hand.

I made some enquiries via ebay regarding those leather seat covers. Thought I leave this reply I got today for others to see:

Hi Robin, we make the covers for leigh at jimparts. We can make the above you mentioned but just need to get the colours right. Do you have an address i could send you some samples.
the cost for full leather with "Cloggy" embroided in the head rest would be £280
