How do you remove the seat cushions?

[Pink_Floyd]

I got my new seat heater elements in the mail but now I need to know how to remove the front seat cushions. I know the bottom cushions you just pull off and you need to replace the one time use plastic clips that hold them on. But as for the back seat cushions, well, I couldn't find any information on them... Anyone know how to get them off?

Thanks!

Pink,

Remove the head rest , there is 2 torx screws in the holes under the head rest
remove them, then recline the seat back there are 2 more where the bottom
seat and back seat meet. Unscrew them and the back rest slides off. I
installed heated seats in my car last month worth every penny. It is 32 below
zero here and they work great.

where did you get the seat heater elements? OEM?I just had my seats apart and was looking around but didn't find any. I didn't try dealer, as everything is always over-priced.

I bought mine right from Rostra 175.00 for both seats.(bottom& back)
very easy to install and they heat up fast.
The whole job took me about 4 hours.
Here is their web site. Any questions please post and I will walk you
through it.

I got mine from some guy in Germany who was selling aftermarket replacements. It was $190.00 for both seats, bottom and top. Though they weren't OEM they were still very nice and made in Germany and I will let you know how it goes when I install them.
