Removing

If the backrest padding in a vehicle with seat heating is renewed, then the respective backrest heating element must also be renewed.
  • Separate backrest cover from backrest padding → Chapter.
  • Cut through wire -3- right at old seat heating element -2-.
Note The old seat heating elements remain fitted on the seat padding -1- and the new heating elements are bonded in onto the old ones.
