2004 Accord EX seat comfort
 
Anyone out there, besides me, having complaints about the seat [back]
allegedly causing back pain? I can't tell where it's coming from: too much
lumbar support even when set at 'minimum'...? Pain develops in the lower
part of my middle back. I had no such trouble in 3 previous Civics.

Howard

I know I wish the lumbar support was a little lower. The heated seats make
up for some of it, though...

The seats on my 2002 EXL V6 are more comfortable than the ones in my
2003 EXL V6. At least, I find them to be more comfortable; my wife
agrees, but my adult son prefers the 03.

I sure wish my 2002 had the feature level of the 2003 (dual climate
control, heated seats, 240 HP, etc.)

Howard,
Sarah also has trouble with her back after driving a long distance. She
says the seats in her Grand AM are much more comfortable. There is nothing
you can do about this problem unless you install different seats or get
some sort of after market product to place on your seats. A company called
Sparco makes a racing seat that might solve your problem. However, I don't
have their web site URL--it might be sparco.com
Does anyone else know where Howard can buy a different type of car seat?

Thanks, Tom. I'll wait here in the meantime. I'm checking with my dealer as
to whether or not an upholstery shop is "authorized" to get inside the
existing seat considering there is an airbag in it. All they may need to do
is remove some of the foam in the bottom half of the seat back so that it's
not pushing against me to the extent it does.

Re: 2004 Accord EX seat comfort
 
I own an 03 Accord LX, and the seat is terrible. I had a '93 Nissan
Altima SE before and its seat was way more comfortable than the '03
Accord LX and '99 Accord EX (+leather) seat. I am above 6' and want to
sit in a relaxed posture . The accord seats lack lower back support.
It's very uncomfortable and definitely bad for your back. I tried some
aftermarket products, they didn't work. I even tried making my custom
pillow thing, couldn't do it right. Right now I'm using an ugly travel
pillow. If anybody know what to do, your help is GREATLY appreciated.

====================

Howard,

Some people over at Odyclub.com forum have modified the front seats of
the new Odyssey for the same reason. It involves cutting away some of
the foam below your belt-line. I expect it would work the same for the
Accord.

Thanks - that's exactly what I was thinking until the Honda service manager
said I can't cut into these seats due to the side airbag being inside it! I
wonder if those Odysseys have side airbags within *their* seatbacks. I'll go
check on that group.

Thanks - that's exactly what I was thinking until the Honda service manager
said I can't cut into these seats due to the side airbag being inside it! I
wonder if those Odysseys have side airbags within *their* seatbacks. I'll go
check on that group.

I might have mentioned this earlier: in the Accord seats are side airbags.
There are sensors here and there in? and around it, too. Therefore, the
seats cannot be replaced. Interesting idea, though. :) Maybe I should have
bought a '64 Chevy Impala and been done with it. I'm sure for that I could
get any seat I want. Don't need no airbags in that thing....

Howard,
I thought of another idea that might help you but might not help very many
other people. You said in your original post that the seats in your Civic
were much more comfortable than the seats in your 2004 Accord. You should
ask the service manager or parts manager if the seats from the same type
and year Civic that you mentioned will fit on the same mounting system
that is in your Accord. If the Civic seat will fit--that might be a
solution to your problem. Of course, I could be giving you bad advice
since I know very little about car seats. If so, I will not be offended if
other people provide input as to whether this idea would work for Howard.
