Will the foam backing interfere with the seat heater in our Nissan Leaf?

I'm not 100% positive but I so know the seat covers are thin enough to feel the heat of the seats.

I live in my camper and have a roll of this foil that I bought to add to the insulation this spring. However during the last cold wave I used some of it to cover all openings and windows temporarily. It kept the heat in and didn't interfere with my wifi (router is out side) or my phone that I noticed. I can't say anything for sure except that I didn't notice any problem.

I also place a pet throw to protect my rear seat and this extender. I have had no problems with this product.

Thats correct, it would interfere with the heat coming out the top. Plus you would be covering up the power and heat buttons. The remote control can power it on and cycle through the colors though. Its a great product though. But if you want heat, you can't recess it perfectly flush against the wall. I questioned how that would look myself, but I have no issues with it sitting two inches from the wall. From the couch, you would never notice (I walled over my 1950's fireplace and am using this instead now).

This review is from: Trillium TWI-1603 12V Heated Back and Bottom Seat Cushion (Automotive)"Great heating seat although the cord is on the left side of the seat which is not good for the driver's seat.

If the controls are on the seat part themselves you will have to cut a hole in the fabric (the sides of the seat bottom are fabric--only the part you sit on is sheep skin). They will be covered. But you could probably press the botton even if they are covered. You can't "see" them down there anyway--you generally 'feel' for them. If the controls are on the vehicle floor you will be fine.

Not on the one that I have. It does warm the seat nicely, I will say that! But it does get too hot after a while - and that is on the "low" setting. You might try putting a thick covering - like a quilt between the seat and you and then it might not feel too hot. I now have my heat in the car fixed, but it still is helpful because it warms up before the heat comes on full blast. I really do recommend it for anyone who feels a need for a seat warmer. It made a big difference before the heat was fixed! Good luck!

I really haven't had mine long enough to really answer your question. I can tell you I bought it because the car seat rubbed on the leather and made noises and that has stopped. The backing on this protector is the kind that doesn't allow the seat to rub back and forth so that will help protect the seat. I ordered a second one for my daughter's car because she saw mine and asked why I didn't get her one. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Not sure. The complete circuit through the switch, may be calibrated to total the resistance (ohms) of all the circuit components. Omitting the backrest portion of the heating elements could lead to overheating and fire in the seat cushion or worse...the seat of your pants! I'd consult with the manufacturer on that issue.

I use the heated seats in my jeep with these covers on. There is no problems with them. The covers don't melt nor do I see any other problems yet. I have used the heaters a few times, but so far there is no negative results.

I think so. Mine is outside, with a foam/ vinyl cover on top. With the blanket on, the heater comes on less. I put the bubble side down and trimmed it a bit larger than the top and it works well. I read on line that it is more energy efficient to keep it warm all the time vs turning it down to cool when not in use and then heating it all up again before using . I find this to be true also. I am not an expert.

Yes it did help with blocking some of the heat, the nice thing is it is made to fit your windshield. I live in southern Florida and the sun beats intensely on the car, but I have noticed the difference I have leather seats and you can actually sit on them when you get in the car after a days work without the heat burning thru your clothes. Big difference.

Yes, you should have a good fit, if necessary just use foam edging which comes with a/c and insert around unit. I love my unit, bought 2 and usually just run 1, it works so well!

They do not recommend putting much other than the cloth cover over it.... Seems more on top less heat gets through. I suppose that would be okay but I would not wait to attest to that...I would not bury it but I cannot see a little hurting anything. See if you can contact the company. Awesome heater ...

Unfortunately it does interfere with the Highlander hatchback "fin", but not by much. With everything as forward as possible, the fin would just touch the skybox, eventually scratching the Toyota.

My car had leather seats with more leather covers, and I put this setup between the two very successfully. I would do the same with your setup. the heat provided is good for heating the body, but should be insufficient to cause harm otherwise. There is no timer, and that's not great, but otherwise a great install, and a very complete kit. I wired mine into the power seat wiring, and found a spot on the seat's side molding for the switch, and that way it's all self contained in the seat.

No to both. If the wires got hot enough to ignite your foam then it would burn your skin. The heat is very gentle, even set on high, won't damage anything.
