Default seat heaters are driving me nuts, anyone resolved this?

my elbow keeps hitting the seat heater as im driving and its been hot as hell in cali this past week. i dont even need this option, so i was wondering if anyone has tried building a little shell for the button or even disengaging the seat heater???

you can disengage it if you go under the console, just pull the ground on it.

I dont have a problem, maybe short arms, or short person, whatever the case, my arm rests between the parking brake and the console.

Thought I was the only one. Even hit 4 ways once in a while. Dis-engaging right away.

Pull the fuse in the fuse box for the summer time and reinstall in the fall.

I took mine to the nissan dealer and they moved the switches to the passenger side, leaving the blank near me. I only hit the drivers side one so this worked for me.

Where and how do you get to them. Under the seat there is a bunch of connectors also which one is the driver seat warmer. It has been over 90 this week and I keep on hitting my seat warmer.

Thanks zh Guitar, Actually I have traced a pattern that I like, and plan to go to a local upholstery shop to have custom one done. I think it looks awesome. As soon as I get it back, I will post for all to see, Dave "FLZ" p.s. I don't like the little square pad they sell. Cheezy lookin' and for $ 45.00, They're nuts! Just my opinion. I like CourtesyNissan Parts. Bought some accessories from them, but 4in. by4in. tiny pad for THAT much is TOO much.....Z Ya! Dave "FLZ"
