in need some suggestion. On my 2nd day of my 10 day, 3,000 mile road trip the spring (?) of the back support on my driver's seat snapped. Now it made a nice uncomfortable round back, so I had to put a towel behind my back. It's not that my 160 lbs would have been to heavy, more the 270,000 miles, but usually Volvos get that kind of mileage easily ;-)
I heard the snap, and now my back adjustment doesn't do anything anymore. Can that be fixed and how? I was thinking about picking a new seat from the junkyard, but usually they are terrible dirty :-(
Any comments are appreciated - in the meanwhile i will drive around with my towel.
