Cloth to Leather - Can I keep heated seats? ('90 80Q)

[Kneale Brownson]

I doubt there'd be heater elements in the seats of a car that did not offer 
heated seats as a standard feature, David.
I think someone posted within the last 6-8 months a URL for a company 
selling aftermarket seat heating devices.  The posting was about 
alternatives to tearing off the upholstery to repair heater elements.  You 
might look through the archives with a Google search at Audifans.com.
