First, thank you for providing the write-up!

I finally took the time yesterday to swap the seat heaters from my factory saabaru seats to my bugeye seats. My saabaru was already wired for heated seats, so I did not need to run any wiring...

Regardless...the swap took forever (like all day). Granted I had to tear apart two pairs of seats and make a trip to the hardware store...it still took a while.

My main suggestion is to get a pair of hog ring pliers and some hog rings. Threading all those darn zip ties through the cushion probably took the most time and caused the most frustration.

Also, for those of you swapping stock heaters - I used heavy duty, double-sided carpet tape to hold down the heating elements. Seemed to work pretty well.

Have not yet reassembled my saabaru seats, but I am definitely getting some hog ring pliers!
