- Often in the UK, it's cold outside but dry. Many times I have endured freeing temperatures to have the roof off feeling despite the cold. Finally I have taken action to address this and install heated seats to my car.
This is not very 'Lotus' of me, but will 100% mean more roofless drives in winter and for that I am happy to take the stick from the Lotus community..!
Whenever I add anything to my Elise, I look around to see if there's anything I can remove to balance it out :) In this case, the heated seats allow you to wear lighter clothes, so you're all good!
This is excellent logic 😂
You inspired me to do the same with my seats over the winter as part of redoing my seats. Works wonders, thank you for sharing!!
That's awesome! Now the roof can come off no matter how cold, just needs to be dry!!
What point did you connect your ground wire to? Tapping into a fuse under the dash only gives me the single power wire and I need to find somewhere to ground
@@rikarddotzler8424 I utilised two holes that were on the underside of the tray. Almost exactly centre of the car - I then threaded through a bolt with a washer and nut on other side.
You havent upset me, I think this is a really good idea that I might do myself (if I am feeling brave). Cheers!
It’s a game changer! Winter Elise miles are much more bearable now
Lotus already sold its soul with the new electric Version. So no problem 🤭
Love this 😂 I will look at it as helping the Elise keep up with lotus’s step into luxury cars..!
I'm not letting my wife see this. 😀 But I did learn that the centre console under the dash comes out from this video. That'll clean up my stereo install.
I had no idea how/if that came out either to be honest! Just saw those little corner clips whilst my head was down there 😂
I have never ever said to myself - “I think have a cold bottom in my Elise” with the hood down.
Aha when you put like that, me neither 😂 but, I have had many days where I want to take the roof off, but it’s too cold to be enjoyable..!
Can you link the kit you used? I'm going to do this!
I ordered off Amazon, but seller is no longer listed.. I’ve found this, which looks similar (will need to order two to do driver and passenger). The kit doesn’t come with the fuse tap in, I got a couple from Halfords (about £7 from memory).
