Question Seat lumbar support broken?

Hellos. My drivers seat has become massively uncomfortable in the past few months, every so often i hear something in the seat back shift around, it also doesn't have the same springiness like the passenger seat does. Anyone experience this? or advice? thanks

Common failure, mine is on it's third part for lumbar support. Realoem.com will have part numbers for you. Mine was a warranty repair but shouldn't be a difficult repair for a competent DIYer.

There is a handle **** that you turn to tighten it up. I learned to set it and never touch it. You could probably take the seat apart and epoxy the pieces together, guessing!

There has been updated on the part numbers:

You Can see the lumbar version cars have that **** and you can retrofit it with a little bit of work.
