Technical Lumbar support - how to get to it?

[MKoers]

It's been a while since I posted.
All the problems I had with the GP where fixed so it's just driving like a train now

But a problem has presented itself.
I wanted to change my lumbar support today but it does not work.
I can feel it clicking but nothing moves.
I want to get to it and I see the zipper on the rear of the seat.
But how to get to the end of it to unzip it?

It's folded withing the seat and I can't get it out.
Also I see some sort of plastic strip, looks like it's hooked into another plastic strip.
Can I remove this without breaking anything?
I tried carefully but didn't have the guts to push through

So how to get in there?

I think there may not be many replys to this as so few puntos have adjustable lumbar.

Glad you put that - I've spent the last 21 hours looking for mine

Sorry , didn't know it was only in sportings.

Sorry , didn't know it was only in sportings.

I've got a Sporting - trust me, it's not in all of them. Wish it was.

My Elegenza had electric lumbar support.

Wondered why I never found mine

Its not in any sportings at all is it? (on mobile so can't see signatures with car specs). If there are sportings with it maybe it was a cost option.

Could be, I got my GP second when it was on 150.000Km.
It's a 1.9 Sport (130BHP).
All the options are on it exept leather.

Mkoers, you're not in the UK are you? Maybe its to do with our cars being right hand drive and having different seats.

In the past cars have been sold in the UK with a height adjustable passenger seat but a fixed height driver's seat.

 

[MKoers]

It's a left hand drive.
Í'm from the Netherlands.
The drive seat in my car is hight adjustable and has an electric lumbar support.
The button is underneath the arm rest.

The seat on the right does not have these options.

 

[MKoers]

Well just tested my luck and I got to it.
Just hope I can get it back together.

I got the electric motor out and found the problem.
When I push it all the way out the cables stick or something.
I have to move it a bit and the it will move.
But I cannot do that when it's inside the chair.

Anyone got an idea how to fix it?

 

[MKoers]

Gave it another go and had to pull the seat apart...
On the bottom of the seat two plastic strips interlock, removed the with screwdrivers between then.
Unzipped the seat and remove the motor.
Just a wiggle and put it back.
Works like a charm!

I've got it on my sporting tj, it's an optional extra when brought from new, mine has the leather interior from new on a 57 0 late.. however my support seems to blow a fuse every time I replace it..
