Right, I thought it was time that I fitted the north face leather seats that I bought....
What a hassle..
I took the other seats out which is simply a load of bolts and the plugs under the front seats for the power, no biggie... refitting the back seats was just as easy...
However, due to the north face seats being heated and having airbags there's more wires and the plugs are different.
Luckily, I didn't put power to the plug for the airbags, or I would be crying by now....
Anyway, I chopped the plugs off the old seats and set about wiring them up..
here's the wires with the plug plugged in, so I could test that I was wiring up correctly before crimping them together
After getting everything all connected up, I've decided I actually don't like the bases of the seats compared to the old bucket types..
So, I'm going to try and find some leather buckets and swap the bases over, so I've got nice bases and headrests in the uppers...
