****** Warning******* I'm just some guy who wanted heated and cooled seats and this is what I did. These are not recommended by Katzkins or Leather Seats. No installer around here would do it. After going through the process, it can be done but it is not the best install. Mostly the back rest and the lumbar support is the problem.
I purchased my JTR without leather and without heated seat as I really wanted cooled seats too. I did not take time to research Katzkins to know that they would recommend or do. I am happy with my results, the seats work, they heat and cool. I also got my choice of seat color and perforations. Some may like it, some may not, its great either way.
My local katzkins installer agreed to do the leather install and would allow me to do the Degreez install. They would not be responsible for any of the work or warranty for the degreez, but will back their leather install with the 3/36 warranty.
I had MLK day off from work and they worked on that day. So Saturday night, I removed the driver's seat and removed the cloth seat covering. Honestly, I took my time and it wasn't that hard. The lumbar adjust knob doesn't look like a cover in the center, but it was/is (thanks internet). The covers are mostly plastic clips and hog rings in the center section.
Removing the seat, disconnect the main harness to the seat. Then disconnect the other plug off of that harness (it is the airbag connector). Later, I found that the tree clips for that wire must be removed on the bottom of the seat and the wire must be run out of a hole in the cloth seat to the airbag. I assume, the new leather seat covers have that hole also.
