Default Lumbar support fix

My lumbar air bags started failing and researching the "Redevil" fix on this web site was great repair fix. My one difficulty was with Medpage to get the blood pressure cuff replacement bladders. I did note others had difficulty in getting their orders. I called Medpage and spoke to customer relations who accepted my order for 4 adult bladders and 4 child. I requested size information and the c/s person asked if it was for a Corvette seat repair, and yes these were the ones I needed. Good service. Then I began the wait, assured I would receive them in 7 working days, nope, didn't show up. I checked my account info and my order was received, nothing else. I called customer service and was told she would call the warehouse and check my order, she had my order number and phone number and would call right back. Nope. The next day I called c/s again, could not get through and left a message to call me back. Nope. I checked my account info and still said order received. I waited a couple of days and called c/s early in the morning and spoke to the lady who took the order. She put me on hold and called the warehouse and said my order would be at my home the next day, the warehouse had a "hiccup" but my order is processed??? The next day the parts arrived at my doorstep. Amazing. I don't know how long I would have waited to get them without continuing to call.

Long story, it took an hour to do lumbar and side bolster in the first seat and 45 minutes to do the passenger. Cost, $5.00 each for the adult bladders for the lumbar and $5.00 each for the child. $40.00+$10,00 shipping, a good repair.
Part #MAB-05-281-021 Adult. You need 2 per seat.
Part #MAB-05-281-025 Child. You need 2 per seat.
These bladders are an excellent fit for replacement. All this info is available by searching lumbar support fix or Redevil fix and much thanks to for his posting. If you order from Medpage usa sales, stay after them for your parts, their system is very slow.
