Cloth Seats vs. Leather?

so my Cabrio came with the Comfort package, and although I like all of the other stuff in the package, I'm beginning to wish I had the cloth heated seats instead of the leather ones...

Am I correct in thinking it'd be a direct swap to get shut of the leather seats and plug in the heated cloth ones?

Anyone got a set of *BLACK* heated cloth seats that they'd like to exchange for heated leather? (I'm keeping my armrest.) It wouldn't happen until late March, and you'd have to be within a reasonable drive of central Michigan...

Or maybe I'll just try a pair of those fancy-schmancy Hawaiian seat covers.

Just wondering, why don't you like the leather?

There are no cloth heated seats. The heat and leather are part of the comfort package.

You can order heated seats ($220) independent of the comfort package. However, the only way to get leather is with the comfort package.

FWIW, if you ever travel with pets, I've found that dog hair can be close to impossible to get out of cloth seats.

That's what I got too... Wanted red cloth, but the heat too.

I always knew that one could get heated cloth seats.

I know this doesn't help, but I'd definitely trade my black leather seats for a pair of MINT condition heated red ones.
