This mod results in a much more comfortable seat by reducing the firmness of the bottom six inches of the driver and passenger seatbacks, allowing you to sit further back in the seat with better lower back support.

	Driver's seat. The bottom of the seatback is so firm that it pushes your butt forward, making the bottom cushion seem too short and also causing a strain on your lower back.
	Working on the passenger's seat, this is the J-seam at the bottom of the seatback cushion. Separate the front from the rear piece to allow the seatcover to be rolled up.
	It's basically just two J-shaped pieces of plastic with the "hooks" of the J interlocked. This is what it looks like as it starts to separate.
	Use a long X-acto blade to slit the cushion to reduce the support at the bottom. Another way to do it would be to cut out a section of the foam in an area this size and replace it with a section of softer foam.
	As you can see from the length of the blade, the slits were 1 1/2 - 2" deep.
	The slits extend up to about the level of the bottom of the armrests. Then make about three horizontal slits so the whole area is made up of roughly 1" squares. They're marked here for visibility.
	Now remove alternate pieces of the foam. This is about ten cubic inches of foam removed.
	Back together and much more comfortable!
