Replacement seat that fits Aveo? Want something with better lower back support.

[Bob J]

One thing I'd like to change about my Aveo . . my seat is getting to be a problem on my back.

Does anyone know of a direct replacement with some support for the lower back?

I've never searched for a seat, and don't have any idea what's available. I'm guessing not much, but could be wrong.

Here's what I'd do in your place. First measure the max available footprint for a replacement seat, the height of the seat from the floor, and what floor clearance is required. Then carefully check the underside to make sure there would be no problem drilling 4 new holes through the body, at the corners, keeping in mind that you would need to replace the slider track with the one from the new seat. Then go to a U-pull and check the seat on as many vehicles as necessary, until you find something in decent condition that you like, and will fit into the Aveo seat area measurements. Removing the replacement seat might be a PITA, and a battery angle grinder would be nice to have on hand. Installing into the Aveo shouldn't be a big job. You could probably haggle a good price for one of these.

Did you hunt down a seat yet Bob?

Another thing to consider: I've taken the cover off several of my own seats to add padding myself. (Between the OEM foam and the frame/springs of the seat.)

I've added both lumbar / lower back, and thigh support to different cars.

Much cheaper/easier, and you can add/subtract exactly as much as you need to feel more comfortable.
