Going to try heating cloth seats...

I know there are cars that have heated cloth seats, my mother's old car use to have them before she got her ford with leather.

Figure for $160, i would give it a shot.

heated seats FTW!

Do you have leather? Cause I know if it gets hella cold out theres nothing worse then planting your rectum on frozen leather.. My anus loves me when I turn on the heat

actually its completely safe to do cloth heated seats they just use a differen't heating element then the leather ones. we have people get them installed all the time and no problems.

yea, they are pretty ugly. doesn't bother me though, i only put them in when it's cold out, and i'm sitting on them so it's not like anyone sees them anyway. plus, i can take it out and put it on my computer chair or the couch

You guys need to research it more aparently. Everyone thinks hot and cloth = fire, but study it and you'll find that's not the case.

Thanks for the encouragement though!

I bought those exact ones and no problems on leather... My Girlfriend has OEM heated cloth seats in her Mazda 3... no probs

BTW when you buy a heated seat cover, what are they made of? the one that we bought for our office chair were made of CLOTH.
