Question Driver seat replacement

Need to replace the Driver's seat on my 2007 RX350.
Info on the seat:
Heated
All electric seat adjustments

Just wondering if anyone has replaced theirs and where they got the parts?
Dreading going to the dealer for the part.

Thanks

The least expensive way would be to see if you can get a seat from the junk yard that is in good condition. You want to make sure that it has the heated seat option. That is not something you can easily add. If the seat does not have the switches to make it move, you can swap them from your current seat.

How bad are your seats? Pics?
If not torn you can use what the car dealers use to make look like new again.
This is what I used to make mine like new too and they were beat to hell. lol






After recolouring I used some of this to give a little shine.

The seat does not move forward anymore, I have used all these products to keep her looking like new.

That could be the motor or the switch. Those things can be replaced without replacing the entire seat. There are several motors in the seat, up & down, back & forth, tilt, seat back angle. Sometimes you can tap on the end of the motor and it will run. This would indicate that the brushes in the motor ar either sticking or almost worn out.
