Title: Fitting Heated Seats - Anybody experience with Cloth Seats?
Post by: roger on September 18, 2006, 20:57
The excellent fitting instructions were done for leather seats.

I've had a quick search and it looks as though the cloth seats are fitted in much the same way as the leather, but no definitive comment.

Can anybody confirm this? Not sure if the leather backs have a zip, the cloth do. Presumably this would make the backs easier, but presumably the squabs have the same tensioning problems (copper hooks, probably replaced with ties)

Any quick observations from those who have taken cloth coverings off would be appreciated.

Fitted mine last weekend into cloth seats  s:) :) s:)

No problems - exactly the same as for the leather   s8) 8) s8)

One note : On the seat back, where is says to cut the end off the metal rod and re-thread.... I found it easier and quicker to pull the three (or is it four) links that hold the two rods together apart. Then bend them back after. You'll see what I mean when you get stuck in.
