Any Canadian members with access to heated seats?

Hi Kim

We met in Pensylvania and you where sooo close to my
driver's heated seat. You could have tried it at that
time. Bummer. My 91 vanagon is a canadian model
originally from Vancouver BC but I'm from Montreal Qc.

As David Marshall says, it's just sort of a heated
blanket that you insert in your seat and you sow the
corners of that blanket on to the fabric of the seat
so it wont move. Of course you have to remove the
upholstery! I know this because my van was originally
and 8 passenger with the grey and teal color, and I
switched to a carat interior that is totally grey. And
I REALLY wanted to keep this very rare original
option.

Well, I dont really use the heated seat cause my van
is always in storage on the winter... I did use it a
couple of times when my "other" car broke down. I used
to put at the max level and it took forever to heat
up. But I found out why it was not working properlly
when I made the switch. Some wires were broken and
burned!! I could had MY ASS on fire!! ;-))).Is it
worth the trouble? Nope! Is it fun to have? Yup!

Since then, I did not have the chance to fully try it
because... I welded some swivel bases to my van! I
need to dril a big hole at the center of the swivel
base, at least an inch diameter to be able to pass the
connector to the electrical source. Ha! details...
details... I still could use the heated feature cause
the wire is long enough...

My van:
-Bought used in 96: 91 vanagon GL 8 passenger, no A/C

-In 99: install front swivel bases
-In 2000: carat interior (with front swivel bases!)
-In jan 2003: Pop-top surgery

So... what is this van really? A mutan multivan?

By the way, I still have that middle 3 seater for
sale.
