actually - removing the cover is quite easy, you have to take the seat out and dismember it, but other than that, it's all quite straightforward.

BUT (there had to be a but), the heating element is stiched into the leather and not able to be separated from it. So, if you're wanting to remove the leather / heater assembly to move to another seat or to change the foam or correct the seat base, then yes it's simple, but if you're going to attempt to fix the element, then I'm afraid it's not possible.
