I want to know the same but from 3 bar to 5 bar. I have set of 3 bar full electric and 5 bar non electric. Want the 5 bar on the 3 bar frames. I would say it's just a straight swap albeit a pain to do. Can't see the foam cushion being different.

The crap drawings on rave show them to be the same. The 3 or 5 panels look like one panel from the inside by the look of it, just different stitching on the outside.

A look on ebay at the heated seat element shows no bars in the foam

Stripping the skins off and refitting is not difficult, the hog rings are a bit of a ballache though. Had one of mine off to re-stitch it after a aide airbag blew.

You could but I'm sure they will not last long with all the flexing

Hog rings are little metal rings that hold the cover in place, and can be a pain to get off, and even more of a pain to get back on. Ive used thickish cable ties twice now on my seat bases and theyve been fine. Much easier than re doing all the rings

Here are some pics of the 5 panel seats I stripped today. Cut the hog rings with side cutters its much easier. These are the back of the front seats, the bottom part just comes away with the foam attached so they'er easy.
