is it basically impossible to remove the heated seats pads from a leather rear seat? I know they're meant to be glued on the leather fronts, just wondering if it's similarly impossibly on ther rears, has anyone tried it?
Basically this is on my spare Omega. We're at the stage once I've swapped the best bits of it over with the worst on my car, the plan was to whack it through an Mot, and re-flog. However, it's probably got as much chance of passing an MoT as...well, a 17 year old ex-taxi Omega full of fag ash, taped-on trim and weld patches!
So that being the case most likely strip for parts. 2.0 engine and autobox are decent, the factory fit phone-stereo, until it's a bare shell, then weigh it in for all of £15 a ton. ::)
Fancy fitting heated rear seats to my CDX, and given a leather rear seat is worth about 12p, thought it might be a nice idea to use them for the heater elements.

It is not possible.

Far better, not to mention far quicker and easier, to use some aftermarket pads wired through stock Omega switches.

You got a link for these pads Nick ?
Both my front MV6 seats are knackered and I wouldn't mind putting them in the rear too

Thanks, all, very good. At least I know that before I go slicing some up!
As I understand, the cloth/velour seats have pads which are much easier to remove, they're meant to be clipped in, not glued... I think? Not that that helps me of course, just checking for future reference. :)
