    This is a longshot, any chance gen 3 seats would fit in gen 2 ?
    I would hope by gen 3, they realized how crappy the microfiber was in gen 2.

    I don't know if there are any videos. if you find a vid for replacing the rr shock, it will show (hopefully) how to remove the rr trim panel. once you got the panel off, its not hard to get to the fan. I did find a mouse nest next to my HV battery when I went to clean the fan, so that's another good reason to take it apart.

    I don't think the rails are the same, and then the side airbag needs to be addressed. is it the same resistance? does it have the same connector? without major surgery we're kinda stuck with lousy seats. gotta have a Riddick mindset: "me and pain are old friends."

    Like your answers 69,
    I can live with seats, mine aren't bad.
    Will get back with you on HV fan, maybe others will post on subject.

    Reminded me of the Marine Corps rifleman's creed.

    This is my Prius
    There are many like it, but this one is mine
    It is my ride
    I must master it to get its maximum mpg
    Without me, my Prius is useless
    Without my Prius, I am stranded
    etc....
