Default Easy repair to sagging drivers seat.

The passenger in my car is higher up than me even with the seats fully raised this is due to the springing being a little worn . So rather than pull the seat apart I put a bladder from a football under the seat ( on a thin pad of foam to protect from sharp bits) extended the inflation point and blew it up ..perfection.

Ok I am the mad jag man.

Was that bladder from an American football, a soccer ball, or a rugby ball? Inquiring minds want to know....

Well I guess a UK football size 5 .but it only has to go up about 3-4 inches so any would do . If you want to be clever disconnect the pump to the lumbar support cushion and re connect to the underseat bladder

Well that's certainly easier than what I went through. Check out my June 2019 thread.
