Can you use heated seat kits with non perferated vinyl?
Just wanted to see if anyone has ever done this with the original vinyl? Does the perferated areas have a direct purpose to the heating and cooling of the pad ? Will it damage my covers if there nor perferated? Thanks.

They don't get hot enough to cause any damage. You will be fine. I've installed at least 50 kits.

Re: Can you use heated seat kits with non perferated vinyl?
I bought my kits off ebay for the 71. Says they can be mounted under any cloth or vinyl covers.
Here is my post when I did mine.  http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php?p=6918105

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |

Re: Can you use heated seat kits with non perferated vinyl?
I happened to catch both the seat guys in the coffee room a minute ago and asked them your question.
They said you'd be fine (the heat just passes right up through the vinyl). The perforations, if functional and not just a styling feature, are to allow the air to flow through for cooled/vented seats. K
