Default Seat modification discussion.

I like to slouch a little in the drivers seat, I can see better this way.

But, as you all know the seats lack a lumbar adjustment.

What do you all think of having a interior shop beefing up the lumbar area or possibly installing an ajustable feature.

Maybe even a little extra padding in the seat area.

I was thinking of using a small pillow...but...I want it to look stock.

Discuss....


Thanks for your views and opinions!

I have found myself rolling up a jacket and putting it behind my back on long trips.

I bought a lumbar support at the dollar store on another member's recommendation and for $1, it is absolutely perfect for trips and things when I will be in the car for a while, for daily driving, I just suck it up.

Several mercedes guys and I think a few XF guys have had an upholstery shop install a manual lumbar support, basically an inflatable bladder that sits inside the leather and a tube with a bulb on the end for infalting and deflating, similar to a doctor's blood pressure cuff. A slick way to do it...
