Let me know too if you can...I have lived with the driver's side seat heater
down and now the passenger side is gone too. After reading all the posts
about doing the repairs to the heating element, I was just about to attempt
it on my 4ksq. Now sombody comes along and bursts my bubble and says that 4k
seats don't come apart easy...sxxt! Is this really true??? The Bentley book
doesn't go into great detail but it doesn't look too bad either...the seats
come out real easy, and I'd think that with a decent set of hog ring pliers
and half a brain it can't be that tough...buuut, now you've scared me.
Anybody out there done seat heaters in the 4ksq? These are the high side
bolster cloth so called sports seats. TIA!
