you could have just used a small screwdriver and picked the wires out of the connectors...

Anyways good work mate, nice to see it all works now. Leather is on my list but only as a very last thing. Would have to make a heated seat loom up as well

Picking the wires out would of been hard work, we tried getting the wires out using a small watch makers screwdriver but the ends of the wire have what looks like litte barbs on the end.  :rolleyes:
In the end we put the plugs in a bench vice and tapped them out with a hammer and driver  :shocked: the first attempt left the barbs still in the blocks.  :lipsrsealed:
Heres some pics, spent most of the weekend cleaning them.  :cool:

From this...




To this...
Drivers seat before.





After.










Door card.


After.  :rolleyes:


They could do with another clean at some point.  :laugh:

I used some Leather Preserve Gentle Leather Cleaner Ph Neutral. By Gliptone.  :cool:  i also nicked some other stuff off my Mum....lol which said strong leather cleaner on the bottle, which was a small bottle.  :laugh:
I used a sponge and a nail brush then wiped it off with a white cloth.
Then used Liquid Leather Conditioner by Gliptone on a soft clean white cloth.  :smiley: Which dose really make it smell like leather again.  :cool:
Both the Gliptone have been in my cupboard for ages  :huh:  good stuff. :afro:
