Ive got to take my drivers seat cover off and replace/repair the foam under it as I can feel the frame on one side.

As I was in Walmart last night they had some heater/vibrating pads that you place in the seat to use. So thoughts were, can you put it under the OEM seat cover?

Sure a few things to work out would be possible shaving the foam down 1/4"-1/2" for it to sit flush and also so the seat cover would go back on with ease. The power controls would have to be re-wired and relocated but I was wondering if i could get some OEM switches and use them? Hmm....

Anyway, I would love to hear thoughts, ideas, concern and feedback on it before I go out and do it.

 

Vibrating? Like a massager chair? Never heard of such a thing in a vehicle. That would be kinda neat.

 

Yeah, like a message chair.

Just a cheap but effective mod if it comes down to it.

 

Well, if you are good with electrical stuff, I don't see any issue with performing such a task. It would be really nice and clean if you could purchase the factory installed switches for the heated seats and incorporate those... not sure how you would handle the vibration portion.

What about the passenger seat, are you doing that one too?

On a side note, when you get the seat cover and foam off and can see the metal frame work, look carefully at the very outer edge of the drivers seat (toward the door). There are a few areas that are quite sharp, and will eventually cause your cover too rip. Ask me how I know? Because my seat has a large rip/hole in this location, and I can look right at the frame there. Its no wonder why so many of these seats have a hole there... stupid design.

 

Maybe this will help?

Nice Rich! I never saw that before.

But what do you do about the big hole in the seat cover hahahah

 

I thin it would be a great idea weed! I have thought about this myself!

 

Yeah i have seen several foam fix threads on a few boards. Ive seen that DIY on here also. IDK that I will do that pass side yet until i see how this side works out first. Maybe this weekend I can get started. Im getting another Doberman puppy this weekend fo funds are short again.

 

Where in Walmart, did ya find these heated seat cushions?
