Seat Heating Element Installation
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.
Because this upholstery is held against the padding by Velcro strips, I carefully cut slots in the heating elements so the upholstery wouldn't sag or slide. Because I cut the slots perpendicular to the edge conductors (parallel to the current flow), I didn't interfere with the remaining carbon fibers' heat output.
Turns out that using the included tape in the seat base was a mistake - it makes a lot of noise, and with the slots I cut, it's not necessary. I'll probably pull it out one of these days...
