Possible answer

I just installed a seat heater in the driver's seat of my wife's Mustang GT conv last week. You'll have to take the seat out, usually 4 bolts. Then I used this video clip:

Obviously, for a Mustang, but the principles are the same. You'll have to deal with all the panels, wires, levers, but just tackle each one, one at a time. Where the heater element is over the upholstery bars, there should be zip ties instead of hog rings, since you can't have metal through the heater elements.

You can also get some relevant instructions from www.heatedseatkits.com

Sirblade, don't mean to hijack or anything, but how did you color match that GMC in the front. I want to do that as well.
