Seat heater replacement on cl9

[mslym]

Hey guys, new to the forum so my apologies if I haven't posted correctly.
I'm sure alot of you are familiar with the seat heater failing on the cl9 euro. I've done my diagnosis and traced the fault in the heater element.
Now I'm looking to buy a used but functionimg element and fit it to the seat.
Does anybody know the steps needed to pull apart the seat and Remove the leather seat trim? Can I just remove the base from the frame and unclip the leather or is it a bit harder than that?
Cheers boys

I think it's a little more complicated than that.

Might have to go to a auto upholstery place.

On a side not. Have you checked out how much a replacement seat is from a wrecker? Might be worthwhile just replace the seat itself.

Cheers for the feedback fredoops.
I was fortunate enough to come a across a seat in good condition under 50,000kms for $100. Replaced the seat and problem fixed. I might rip my old seat apart and see how I go stripping the leather.

Have a look at this page

It looks like the leather comes off easily once you manage to undo all the anchor points. It can't be much different from this.. and if it is, pls let us know!
