Someone said on the forum that it will takte approx 2 hrs to change the kit... hahaha.. no way.
First seat took me 6 hrs, and the second one knowing how to do everything by the book took me 4 hrs. But hey, I am proud to say that my seat heater for both seats works a treat! IOf you need any hints just PM me

local dealer here in sweden. OEM mopar. I got the buy-in price for the dealer as they mocked up the prices a bit. I got a quote for about $70 which is the prcing in the US. but it was more likely $140 i paid, but they wanted $280 a piece.

But hey, as I installed them myself I earned a buck anyway!

The product# can be found on the forum. there is a great "sticky" thread on the whole thing. Also with photos. Be prepared with tools. soldergun, glue gun, razorblade, plus general tools.

The kit is not a complete repair kit - it only replaces the very front heating element & pigtail.
I have submitted a write-up on how to do seat heater repair - search for it, it has everything you need to know in it.

Well you still have to carry out some repairment not only at the bottom seat but also at the lower back. Soldering and glueing will be necessary. Spunds easy but installing a new throttle body on my mgf vvc was easier. Even the changing of shocks and exchanging the rubber mountings underneath the car was easier. but the instructions was fairly user friendly. Just take your time.
