Katzkin install questions
About to do the Katzkin leather install in the next few days on my 2012 JKU. Couple questions that I just wanted some confirmation on..
1) The back seats can be done with out taking them out correct? I had read on this forum I think that it's no problem to do it that way
2) Do zip ties work just as well as hog rings? Kinda surprised how difficult it is to find hog rings and pliers locally...
Thanks for the help.

Having done leather kits where I work. Often. Haha. Do not cut corners with zip ties. Use the hog rings. And use a lot of them. Tractor supply? Hardware store? Feed store? Upholstery store? Autozone? All those places have hog rings and pliers for them.
And take out the back seat. It will be easier. And allow you to place the leather and "massage"'it into position much easier. Don't cut corners. You will regret it later.

Ok I could use a little help with the electrical side of things as I'm also installing seat heaters at the same time i do the Katzkin install. I'm planning on running the power direct of the battery, but the seat kid came with a relay that I need to connect to an accessory or "keyed" wire. I took apart the rear window switch panel shown here:
Can anyone tell me which one of the wires in this cluster will connect to the accessory power?
Edit: not sure why the pictures are upside down, sorry about that.
Thanks
