No, No, No, my heater is fine. I just need to know if the heating element is stuck to the padding or the seat leather. I have a bad pas. side seat leather. I can get a used seat with good cover, but it doesn't have a heater. I want to skin the "new" one and put it on my heated seat if I can. Thanks for any tips from those who have BTDT. Car is a '97 A6q. Rick Houck
