I got the smallest gauge wire from the hardware store and soldered it together after cutting out the bad part. It's been over a year now and hasn't caught fire yet. So, so far so good.

Nicely done. I agree, the seats are a big PITA to work with. From getting them out, the inevitable broken plastic bits, to getting them apart, it all sucks. Interesting that your element was sewn into the leather. The upholstery guy who did my front seats told me that mine were glued onto the foam so he steamed them off and glue them onto the new foam bottoms I bought for the project.
