Seat Cushion Heater Mat: Installation
2004 Ford Focus ZX3, 2.0 3, StandardSECTION Installation
- If the seat cushion heater mat shows no signs of damage, does not require any new parts or is not subject to any other repair, carry out the following for adhesion reinforcement of the seat cushion heater mat.
- Neatly apply adhesive on the side edges of the heater mat and the mating surface on the foam pad. Press the edges down, while smoothing the heater mat down, to avoid wrinkling or puckering. Allow the adhesive to dry for 5 minutes before assembling the seat. Test the edges to make sure they adhere well enough to avoid pulling the heater mat up when the trim cover is reinstalled.
CAUTION: Apply only enough adhesive to properly bond the heater mat to the foam pad. Applying too much adhesive can result in adhesive bleeding through to the seat trim cover. Apply the adhesive in a strip no more than 25 mm (0.98 in) wide, along the outer edges of the heater mat and on the mating surfaces of the foam pad, to make sure no adhesive is applied under the heater mat wire. Also, do not apply adhesive to an existing adhesive strip on the heater mat itself. Poor adhesion will result.
CAUTION:
When adhering the heater mat to the foam pad, be sure to position the heater mat so it is straight and free of any wrinkles that may show through the material once the trim cover is reinstalled.
