Broken Seat Bottom

[SLW42]

How do i go about fixing this problem and how common is it??

[orangeLJ]

as in its sagged inwards? or you broke the seat from the rails?

[SLW42]

it has sagged down and it's like sittin in a bucket seat and it's a little annoying because i can hardly see over the steering wheel unless i sit up on the edge of the seat

Sounds like the internals have collapsed.

 

Later model corollas use a rubber/fabric strap to hold the base of the seat up, might be the same in the older ones too?

 

Pull the seat out, flip it over and have a gander, usually if its broken a support you will see it.

 

If it doesnt have that sort of support, then Id just take it to a trimmer and get them to re-pack the seat base (remove the cover and replace the foam packing)

Hey mate, you could try by putting a bit of timber in it for now, just a small board but i'd head to a wreckers and pick up another seat swab as they're known.

 

You can pick them up out of the ke70's, ae71's & also ae82's & maybe more but that's just off the top of my head.

 

Then just swap them over & you should be all sweet.

 

Hope it helps you out mate.
