Default need seat disassembly instructions

I'm about to begin working on installing some seat heaters in my C5. I'm an electrical engineer, so wiring is no problem, but I've never taken the seats apart before. I know that many members have replaced the seat skins and many have installed seat heaters, can someone give me tips, advice, instructions, and/or pictures to show how to pull the seat skin off the seats far enough to be able to install the heater elements. they have an adhesive backing and the install instructions made it clear that they must be properly adhered to the seat foam, so I can't just unzip the end and push it in there, the skin has to come at lest partially off.

thanks for any help!
