2014 LE - adding lumbar support to passenger seat?

[Mark4runnar]

I have a 2014 limited.
I would like to add a lumbar support to the passenger seat.
Any ideas? Has anybody tried this?
Thanks

If you don't mind adding seat covers. Wet Okole has a lumbar feature. It works pretty slick. It uses an inflating bulb like the blood pressure straps and a bubble between the cover and seat. I added it to the passenger seat of my 3rd gen. The Fiance needed it, and it's a lot more comfortable for her. Also was able to put heaters in for us while we were at it!

thanks for the suggestion --- the LE has ventilated seats , so not sure I could get the cover to work, but thanks

I wonder if you could pick up another driver's side seat at a salvage yard or something. I can't believe there are very many 14-16 Limiteds available for parts but you could try.

Not sure if it would be possible to just do a one-for-one swap, though. I don't think the sensors on both seats are the same. The passenger's seat has a weight sensor to selectively deploy the passenger's side airbags. You definitely want to get that right.

Another option:

My sister used a thin foam pillow behind her back when she was in the car. It depends on how permanent of a solution you're looking for. My fiance will probably do something like that in her car if her back starts hurting. That's why I added the covers to the T4R for her in the passenger seat. Just another option
