Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that suspect a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suspected cause
So if it is the base I suspect the webbing, if it is the back then the spring clips.

Suggestion
The back panel can be removed easily enough to check the springs, undo it at the bottom rear and then pull it upwards at the top to take it out.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 1999 3.4 C2, and recently the seat has started to feel as if it is losing support where the base meets the back rest. I think I had this done when I first got the car, but can't remember the details. My question is, is this just a case of the foam becoming compressed or is there something else under the seat that could have come lose? It feels as it it has happened quite suddenly.

POST 2Original post

There was a thread recently about swappign heated seat pads into hardback seats. Theres a webbing that goes across the width of the seat providing support. In that thread the webbing had split apart. Maybe happened to yours?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you mate, I vaguely remembered something about webbing when I first had it done, so that makes sense :thumbs:

POST 4Original post

Underneath the base is a section with webbing on it which can break, so if it is the base of the seat this could be the issue. Still available from OPC and not too scary pricing. On the back of the seat is a metal frame which has two springs attached on either side. These fit to the back with plastic clips. On one of my seats two of these clips had snapped. Again, the clips are available from OPC. So if it is the base I suspect the webbing, if it is the back then the spring clips. The back panel can be removed easily enough to check the springs, undo it at the bottom rear and then pull it upwards at the top to take it out. MC

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That's fantastic, thank you so much :thumb:

POST 6Original post

How easy is it to get at the webbing in the base of the seat? This sounds like a problem my 996 C2 has had for a long time and I've not been bothered enough to do anything about, but if it's easy and inexpensive...
