I've used them in auto applications without trouble, just take care when you do the install to get a clean "pinch" and don't bugger the plastic so it'll still clamp to close properly.
If you wrap the splice to other wires with tape so it doesn't wiggle/vibrate all over the place you should be golden,

Myself I would prefer soldered wire ends with shrink wrap around the joints. Let us know how the heaters work for you. I'm interested in the Heat Demons also.

I would solder and shrink wrap. There is to much vibration and I would not trust crimp connectors like that.

I have never used them, and never will use them not even for a temporary emergency repair. You would be better off just twisting the wires together and wrapping it all with electrical tape before using those things...

If you cannot make solder splice covered with shrink tubing, then use an insulated crimp splice and use the proper crimping tool.

just my dos centavos...

Yep - If you're going to do an upgrade take the time to do it RIGHT, not Easy, Worst thing in the world is to get left or have a failure because of a bad connection. Hard to find on the road.

If it's too tight add wire.
