Seat heater, leather skin & compatablity for '86 SPG Posted by K-Saab [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Okay, I bought a seat skin from an '88 SPG passenger seat to replace my cracking drivers seat. The '88 skin is slightly lighter in color; I can live with that.
The center seams from the '88 do not match exactly. There are steal support rods that must line up for the deap contour effect. Has anyone experienced this when changing seat covers. Also, I seperated the steel support rods from the leather skin a no-no. I'm going to have to get a shop to sew the supports back to the skin.
I've identified at least four breaks in the lower seat heating element.
Is it better to mend these or scout a replacement from the bone yard.
I'm thinking about taking a volt ohm meter to the bone yard, checking for continuity in a passenger seat and surgically removing just the lower seat cushion to avoid paying for an entire seat. The passenger seat should have the least amount of wear.
It would be nice to also fit a fold down arm rest while everything is torn a part.
Any help is appriciated. This is turning out to be a bigger project than I had anticipaited. I could say that about the whole car.
