Putting the seat element in the backrest was not bad at all, but the one that went into the seat cushion was a huge pain in the ass. I first tried to slide it in from behind haha and that didn't work so well and the cushion had like 10 hog rings holding the front part of the cushion on, I finally managed to get it about where it needed to be, but when taking the adhesive tape off that was when the real nightmare started. It was just really hard to move or slide the element back where it was supposed to be. The dam thing stuck to itself a bunch of times and i had to try and un peel it(not fun). I managed to get it about right(a few spots kinda bunched up and couldn't un peel all the way but it seems to be fine. I guess the right way to do the cushion would have been to really take the entire seat apart, but that would have taken forever. The wiring part was the easy part as I had already taken my dash part before to install my Kenwood touchscreen. All in all it seems to be working ok, as long as my jeep doesn't set on fire lol. I would recommend this kit for the wiring but not to sure about the elements, really didn't need to make them out of thin foam with one side adhesive, it just made it very hard to slide under the seat cover. Hopefully they will work fine for some time to come
Damn man, I think you talked me out of this one. Might be a good summer time project to enjoy in the winter but damn it sounds like you had quite the PITA on your hands...

Now that I have done it once, I could prob do it again with much less hassle, but the first time trying to figure everything out was not very fun, but I do have to say I am pretty pleased now that butt is nice and toasty!
