You can see the heater element with the wire hanging out. Use a couple of rulers to push the element down. The were a couple of nylon threads six inches down with I just cut. No harm done from that as far as I can see.

I hope that this helps

I think I will take apart the old seat and learn from that. It's difficult to see exactly what is going on in the pics.
