3x on the manufactorer(but all corrected by them, 4x didn't even tell them about it. seems that their 'exact match to the original' has an extra 6 vertical rows that the original does not. Found this out from the installer, he didn't bother to tell me until after the seats were all sewn up. cost me 30 bucks to ship the original seat matrl. out to them, so they could make sure it matched!! shipping wasn't bad, they said 5 weeks, and they shipped within 5 weeks

installer jerked me around on the price, increased it 3x. borderline bad business

The only 2 positives were the 2 board members, 6T727T2 and low and slow. They were both great to deal with

changed the hot air choke over to electric, pretty simple and straight forward. Just switched out the guts w/ one screw
