Problem with a Leaking Bladder!
Not mine, but in the sport seats.
I've been lurking and enjoying this forum for a while and finally decided to post since you folks are generally so helpful.
I recently became the new owner of 1990 #253 which is a real nice car but has several of the typical problems. I've sent the Bose and amps off for repairs and this weekend did the seat pump diaphram repair using the "Rubber Glove" procedure outlined on the ZR-1.net and the pump seems to be working well now but I still can't see or feel any inflation of the bladders. Would they be ruptured?
Seems that I remember an article in Corvette Fever or Vette a while back about replacing the bladders. Does anyone know what issue that was or can give me some pointers on how to best go about checking the bladders and repairing or replacing if necessary.
Thanks

Re: Problem with a Leaking Bladder! (90 KOTH)
I believe their is a kit to replace the bladders in MAD or Corvette central. It's kind of hard to repair the bladders depending on how they actually ruptured.
