need to replace my knob for the lumbar.... bad design for it
great write up! i never had the lumbar fail but the sides of the seats just provide no support so i got rid of the stock buckets.
Thanks to nglauer and the mts crew for making this happen. Special recognition to Rshadd for Reformatting.

I agree, these seats don't provide much support. I did notice I have much more lumbar support now (obviously since it was broken). I wish they had larger bolsters as well. My goal is to eventually swap the seats out for something more comfortable and have the rear bench upholstered to match.

Thank you again for the replies, I'm slow at following up :)

Thank you MTS Crew, Rshadd, and Captainrab for helping get my how to up. I hope this helps someone, or inspires them to buy more comfortable seats when they see my how to lol. My seat is continuing to hold up, and i've already put an additional 25,000 miles of seat time on it since repairing it. I spend a lot of time on the road in my Canyon... so having the lumbar support fixed has helped me quit a bit.

Thanks again!
