wow my seat has been ripped for years. never thought of that. mines a total blow out, missing foam and all. thx for the tip

 

^ exactly mine has a small rip im waiting for it to just go one day, i'd try it, easy enough

 

great idea, are you sure that first pic isn't of mine? haha looks identical to mine

I never thought of doin this, thanks for the tip!

 

I went ahead and gave this a try today.



I was a little nervous, as I didn't know what was going on with the heated seat. But its just 2 plugs on each seat.






It was definetly a little harder with the power seats to get the seat bottoms lined up with the holes, because the mounts pivot.

The only issue I had, was that the plug for the heated seat backs were on opposite sides after the switch.



If you pulled the wires a little, they would connect, but its a little tight for my liking, also if you put the seat back forward, it could pull the wires loose.

I just spliced in a few xtra inches of wire to solve this.

And here is the seat the way it should look.




For me it solves 2 problems the leaning seat and the wear marks on the side, which was the worst looking thing on the truck, and it's now hidden.

 

wow, thats pretty bad when you can stick your whole HAD in there, lol.j/k

 

i did this yesterday, but i swapped then back around again. the edge of the seats had different contours. so there was a big gap between the seat and the plastic side piece. afraid something would snag it getting out the truck and yank it off. guess ill live with my gaping holed seat till i do a better fix.
