Apparently, Volvo didn't make their seats to last as long as the rest of the car. I'm on my 3rd 240 and in every one the lumbar support has broken and caved in. On my current '83 244, both front seats are broken and I haven't had a lot of luck finding any decent 240s in the junkyards around Minneapolis.

So, my question is can the lumbar support be fixed? I dont mind cutting the back of the seat open if that is what it will take, but I don't want to do it if it's not worth it. I need to get this fixed before i become a hunchback.

If there's anyone out their living in the Twin Cities area, and you've got a pair of good seats you'd want to part with, that would be extra awesome. Preferably blue and cloth, but i'll take black, too.
