Default How to Fix the uncomfortable Seat back on your GX 460!

This was driving me nuts! The front seats on my wife's 2015 GX 460 would make my back hurt on long drives.
I took the set back off and found a lever system made into the seat back that had a cable that ran from a lever to the headrest.
Removing the cable was easy and I just put in off to the side and pushed the lever back. Now the seats are sooo much more comfortable!
I posted the video on my YouTube channel and also the part# for the clip that holds the back cover on. Here is the video. I hope it helps people with this same problem.

Nice vid. Do you know what the purpose of that cable going to the headrest is?

Yes. It's in the video but I must have talked about it quickly. The cable goes up to the headrest and pushes the headrest forward slightly when your back pushes the lever on the bottom of the seat back

I have used your video to fix this on my 2023; now, can you fix the driver's cushion seat ( bolster) that just digs into my leg?
