WarmSeats Seat Heater (Water Resistant Coating)

The comfort and pleasure of a water-resistant heated seat is now available for your Van’s RV, Rocket, or other homebuilt. Our WarmSeats seat heaters quickly provide comforting warmth to the pilot or passenger through the seat cushions. The thin seat heater elements fit invisibly under the seat covers. All wiring and hardware is installed out of sight and takes approximately 90 minutes to install.

The waterproof covering on this seat heater makes it ideal for open cockpit planes, ultralights, or other homebuilts that might be exposed to rain or condensation. The covering also greatly increases the “toughness” of the seat heater, something to consider if you step into the seat each time you enter your plane.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Can I cut a hole through the pad for crotch strap?
  • A: You can cut holes from the center of the pad so long as you don’t cut the wires that run along the edges (cutting through the edge will open all the circuits downstream from the cut area).
• Q: Can the pads be cut to size?
  • A: You can remove material from the length of the pad, but the wires for the heating elements run up both sides of the pad. Cutting through the wires on the side will deaden all of the heating elements downstream of the cut area.
• Q: What are the adhesive strips in the package for?
  • A: The adhesive strips included with the kit are there as one option for adhering the pad to the seat (this is the tape referenced in step 3.2 of the instructions.
