Default C7 seat bottom modification

Hi all. Looking for the posting that talked about modifying the C7 seat bottom cushion for more comfort.

I've looked and looked for the posting but can't find it.

The mod involved cutting or unhooking a strap or spring that runs from side to side in the seat cushion.

My C7 2017 Strigray LT2 has only 7300 miles but I can feel this "strap" in the seat cushion and would like to modify it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
Greg

Or, you can get a car cushion, put it in when you are going on a long trip and take it out when you are not. Cheap and effective.
