Fixed it tonight. I went out and got some Lexol to clean and protect the seats, so I went ahead and pulled the driver's side seat out (better to clean it that way, too

) and had a look inside. I should have taken some pics, but what I found was a bracket was actually missing that holds the right side inner side bolster in place, and the return spring was loose inside the seat. The plate sort of hinges, with the air bladder sandwiched in between. I'm not sure how it came apart, or what happened to the bracket, but I ended up making one out of aluminum stock I had laying around. The inner bolster was not even in the correct "hinged" position, it was just loose inside the seat, and so was the air bladder. Kinda makes me wonder what happened to it. All is better with my interior now though, all clean and the seats even work

Well, I should have taken some pics while I was in there to help someone else out if they're having problems, too. Here's the seat section of the microfiche from Kurt White's page, the bracket that was missing is part #45, it keeps the moving plate (23) from sliding off the fixed plate (24), and the air bladder (9) also is fixed to the moving plate by sliding over the tabs that it hinges on.
