Your vette is equipped with 'sport seats'. If you lift the seat (see wire on front of seat to remove seat) you will see a small black housing with tubing attached. That is the air pump that fills the bladders in the seat back. The pump is prone to failure as the rubber diaphragm is quite flimsy and ruptures, jamming the pump mechanism. The repair is simple (see seat repair under TECH TIPS). You can make a new diaphragm using an old bicycle inner tube, and a 1 1/2" diam. punch. If a new diaphragm doesn't fill the lumbar bladders, the bladders may have leaks. Replacing the bladders is not so easy.

Or, you can just add a pillow, if needed, to provide support to the lumbar section of your back.
