    I know the Recarro's are notoriously difficult to work on. IIRC the shop manual indicates that even removing the head rest is a shop task. I'm not saying it can't be done - just difficult.

    Try googling Recarro (SP?) & get a contact number for the company. Maybe they can shed light on the subject.

    There is a very old thread on installing seat heaters that may be helpful. I'll see if I can find it.

    My seat does the same thing, although irregularly. If you figure out how to get it to stop from that linked post, let us know please!

    Very nice seat heater write-up. This is definately a project in my future.

    Hopefully not too much of a highjack, but:
    I have an extra set of Rodeo head rests that I am considering trying to install in the front seats (to match my rear Rodeo headrests). My idea was to find another set of headrests from the yard with the same width of chrome 'stems' as the Recaro headrests, cut out that section out of the bottom of the new headrests with the chrome stems intact, and cutting a respective hole/stems out of the Rodeo headrests, graph the new stem peg into the Rodeo hole.

    So, has anyone ever been able to remove the Recaro headrests? Thanks.

    So far it hasn't been worth the trouble for me. Maybe eventually I will. I do need to tear into the drivers seat tho since the tilt release ... doesn't.

    YES! We need to get Moncha to make the "Search" button take you to a page that looks like this from now on:

    Talking

    LOL...

    You, my friend, have entirely too much free time on your hands...
    I clicked on "about Ldub" & of course, NOTHIN'...that pretty much sums it up.
    I think I'm gonna print that out & frame it.

    Good one Bart!
