OWS gel pads

Post by CVB3North »

My 2007 C70 has a defective OWS, (onboard weight system) gel pad. Even the dealer gasped when he saw it would cost 2600.00 dollars to replace it! Would it be cheaper just to buy a whole new seat?

Have you considered a used seat? A used seat with bad upholstery and swapping the covers from your seat is likely the cheapest.
Car makers usually only sell components, not whole seats.
