I am getting my leather redone today (front seat bottoms) and I need to know if redoing the leather will in any way screw up my seat heaters.... And if it will, do I need to get a new heating element before I go.....?

Check to see if there're many differences between the driver's and passenger's seat leather surface. If not then it would be a better choice to buy the passenger seat since it should be much better than the other one. My 2 cents! :)

The seat belt connector would be on the wrong side......

Not to mention the lumbar support being absent.

Depends on where they're located. You might check with Joe to see if the heaters are a separate component. If they're in a separate layer (like a heating pad you use on a sore back after replacing spark plugs) then I'd think it would be fine if the leather guy is careful. You might also ask the leather shop about this - I'm sure they've done plenty of heated seats over the years.

Ill do that..... I was trying to feel in the cracks (I can get 3 fingers into one crack), and it kinda feels that it is a layer, but I am not sure... Ill just ask the people, and if they mess it up, im sure they will make it better...... They are a very reputable place......
