Clazzio Leather Seat Covers with Rostra Seat Heaters

I tried the searches, and couldn't find anything on this topic.

I have ordered a set of Clazzio leather seat covers and was intending to install the Rostra seat heaters.

Has anyone tried this and how effective are the seat heaters through the foam padding of the Clazzio seat covers?

The install of both seem pretty straight forward, but I don't want to use the seat heaters if they don't work that well.

I think you'll be fine. I put in seat heaters and noticed that there was foam on the back of my leather seats during the install. They work fine.

In my beater Jeep I put foam backed vinyl seat covers over the torn up leather. The heat penetrates all those layers too.

Thanks for the info, Asmara.

I guess I'll press forward with Plan Alpha.

I plan on installing the seat heater pads into my OEM leather seats before next winter. Let us know how you like the Rostra heating pads.

Real men don't need seat heaters.

I live near Boston. When it is 0 degrees outside with a 20 mph wind, I want seat heaters. I don't give a rat's patootie what anyone thinks about me.

I helped by bro install them in his 50th Anniversary 'Vette this summer while rebuilding his seats. Very high quality and reasonable price.

They work great, but his seats don't have the foam padding, hence my question.

Keep going, that's another statement that jealous men make very often. Ever heard of the fox and sour grapes story?

I learned to ski in the UP and Thunder Bay. You are correct, MN is way, way colder than Boston.

Btw, you gotta be nuts to live there.
