I still like the control with the tie-straps- I even have an upholsterer's pliers
with a special notch. I figure I save 2.5secs per strap: this is not where I got
the two hours (2.5secs x 3 clips x 1000 cars= 2 hours).

Clips aside- seat heater repair is a simple job- I wish you all knew me better:
You would then have a huge confidence in knowing that if I could do it anyone
can.....

Whatever,
