Lumbar support

[ViperGTS]

My lumbar support did a "bang" and I felt the support was gone...

What's up?

How do I repair the "bladder" inside the drivers sear?
Any recommendations?

i remember reading that the squuze ball thing is typical of failing and can be easily replaced with the same part off of a cheap bloodpressure pump that you can buy at a target/wallgreens/riteaid ect...

From the sound and the feeling it was the bladder in the seat!
But I will check.

Do I have a chance to change the lumbar support bladder on my own without destroying the drivers seat?

Is it an easy access/fix?

How do I get access to the bladder - taking everything (leather, cushion, ....) OFF the seat?

The service manual has no picture.

Once I figure out whether I can do it I may need one from you, Chuck!

I have an adjustable lumbar support that I purchased from Relax the Back. It is about same color as the seats and does a fantastic job of support. It was about $150 and worth every penny. If you want mfg name or model number I'll see it there is stilll a tag.

Sandy, thx for the offer.

If the repair is too complex I think I can stand it without the lumbar support, but, I hate it when something goes "bang" on my Viper!
