lumbar support
My wife and I will be taking an extended trip in the vette this winter (all of it south of I10). She will want to add lumbar support in the seat. I do not have the optional sport seats. I have seen somthing on the internet that looks like it would be good - 2 inflatable supports on either side of the back with a hand operated pump and valve. Unfortunately, the fine print gives no price - contact china.
Does any one know of something similar, or have alternate ideas?

I have just replaced the lumbar supports in my sport seats, an easy and inexpensive repair. I realize you do not have the sport seats but in my research to find the correct air bladders I came across a post that said he used a blood pressure cuff and inflated it with the hand squeeze bulb for comfort. Check your local Wal-Mart and see if they have the manual type, slip it behind your lower back and enjoy your road trip.

The lumbar bladder in your wife's sport seat may be failing. Mine started to go one at a time. Some would not hold any air period and some had a crack at the 90 degree inlet and depending on how you sat in the seat it would pinch the crack, maybe hold air, maybe not and finally they all failed. Easy repair, cost me $50.00 to do both seats lumbar and bolsters. An hour to do the first one and 45 minutes to do the second.
