Do you think door edge plastic will be strong enough?

Anyway, you can smooth it with a file or dremel.
Then cover the edge with whatever rugged material you want. No one will see it, so use whatever works... cut some strips from an old backpack, fabric luggage, etc. Then secure with glue or duct tape (or both).
Maybe even something like .

That one will require some creativity. I don't have a solution for sale I'm afraid.

don't know if this thread is still active but i could use some advise. I'm curtly in the middle of putting my seat back together and the reclining lever no longer fits, there isn't enough room to side it back on.
Has anyone come across this problem?

If it won't slide on that far, you either have some padding in the way or the shaft has moved slightly back into the seat frame.
I actually used a Dremel to take off a little off of the back edges of the handle (not the shaft hole part) so I could get it to slide onto the shaft far enough to catch the slit.
Also, If you don't get the plastic cover back on correctly then you won't be able to get the recliner handle into the shaft hole far enough to catch on the slits in the shaft.

Bought this a little over a year ago and already need to get another one. The foam used to cover the side bottom bolster is WEAK! It squishes within a year. Be forewarned.
I just bought another kit for the same seat I repaired a year ago.

Does the fact that some seats are heated come into play.I don't see any mention of the heating element (pad) and where it goes in relation to the foam.
Thanks

You can reuse your heating element. I don't have heated seats but I have seen others that did and upgraded their foam.

The heating element goes in the same place; on top of the foam. The seat rebuild kit goes on the bottom of the foam. I just did a foam replacement and used the rebuild kit to protect the new foam. R&R of the heating element was part of this job. Just needed to use a little 3M glue to keep it in place.
