I have my Metro conversion up and running and now I need to upgrade to
heated seats for the winter weather.Any ideas on what will work or fit
would be appreciated. Thanks

Would the seat heaters be your only heat? If you don't already have heat coming out of you ducts, there is plenty of room in your heater box for 3000 watts of heat. 3000 watts of heat will blow 160 degrees Fahrenheit out your vents. I can't tolerate mine up like that for long before I need to dial it back to 1500 watts.

If the seat covers come off, which I'm pretty sure they do and are not bonded, I recommend using the Rostra brand heaters. I've installed various brands and the Rostras are the best packaged, best performing that I've found. They'll set you back around $100 per seat, but have a good functioning variable control versus high/low settings.
