GS430 Seat issue
I was hoping someone could help me. I've started getting some mild lower back pain in my GS430 and I'd forgotten that my lumbar support doesn't work.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it?
Any DIY's on how to open the back of the seat without damaging it?
Thanks in advance.

Buy yourself an inversion table, I had serious lower back pain. The inversion table, I use it 1 min in the morning and at night, and its really helped big time. You basically flip upside down by your legs, and your spinal cord instead of getting compressed it gets stretch and helps realign your spinal cord discs. I add in twisting while upside!
For me the GS lumbar did nothing for my lower back, turning on the seat heater helps relax it a bit. Also I try to keep the back recline straight up, because on long trips having the back down a bit would increase the pain.

I'm more just interested currently in fixing the lumbar issue. The passenger side works, but not the driver side.
Even finding out how to take the back off without breaking it would be good, then I could figure out the issue on the broken side vs the working side.
