Default Heated Seats from Mopar

Has anyone installed the oem mopar heated seats? They sell the heating element, wiring, and switches for $280. I downloaded the install instructions for them but you have to take the seat apart... It that harder to do than it looks like in the instructions.

In order to take the covers of the seats, your gonna wanna pull them right out of the truck. Not that hard. Only 4bolts per seat. You have to remove any power controls brackets or seat reclining ****. They are just hooked underneath and velcro in back.

I think it's more than just pulling the seats OUT of the truck. I think you have to take the fabric/leather covering off the seat because the heating element goes between the padding and the fabric/leather. It's probably not something I would attempt - I don't know if I could ever get them back together, then I'd have no seats at all! Maybe look online (ebay/Craigs List) or a junk yard?
