I needn’t have worried, the Recaro sport seats proved to be surprisingly easy to do this with.

To do my seats all I needed to do was take out the two pivot bolts to separate the backs from the bottoms.



For the seat bottom there were four hog rings securing the rear of the cushion to the Webbing.



With those hog rings removed there was enough access to slip the heating element in between the foam and the interfacing behind the leather.







Then it was just a matter of installing 4 new hovering to rescue the rest edge and the bottom was done.

I love the red sport seats!

What seat heater parts/kit did you go with? Curious what your solution will be for switches and mounting.

I am thinking of doing the same mod to my car, once its back on the road.
