Oy! My back! Anyone got a recommendation for some beetle back support?

The seat on my 2001 NB is killing me. Does this thing have ANY lumbar support?

Anyone got a recommendation for a good back pillow or something?

TIA!

The lumbar support is a dial you twist similar to reclining the seat. Should be two dials and a the lever for seat height.

Hmm, all MYs? (me goes to look on my 99)
Nope, just one dial and no mention of lumbar support in my 99 owner's manual

WHOOPS!!! I really think that was wrong now. I thought i remembered seeing a 2nd dial... but I guess not after searching photos.

Sorry.....

When my back was really bad, I used a simple lumbar roll. Worked a treat.

Depends on whether or not you have a model with the sport seats.

My only thought would be to see if you could add some foam and then a seat cover?

Or take it to an upholstery shop see if they could slip off the cover rebuild the support and put it back on?

I think Tom (fowvay) has boosted the supporting bits by removing the seat covers on Pomelo (either that or my mind is fooling me that he told me that he did that - or it was on Oscar)
