1999 convertible sport seat airbags

I bought this car new in 1999. The sport seat lumbar air bags have worn and will no longer hold air. The dealer cost for these plastic bags (small ones I might add) is $900.00. The only other place that I have been able to find them is Ecklers where the price is $714.00. Remember, these are small plastic bags.These prices seem unreasonably high to me. I would appreciate any information that anyone may have on replacing these parts.

Are you sure it is the bags that don't hold air? The air leakage might be in another part of the system that might be cheaper to replace or that might allow you to do a home-made fix. Carl Wilson on 6/26/2010 4:55:17 PM

First I'd see what year cars have the same internals as your seat. Then I'd try a pick-a-part or wrecking yard and try to find bladders out of another seat before I'd pop for $500 or more. Just another option. Richard Knudsen on 6/21/2010 12:00:52 PM
Dick, Don't know if they carry them but you might be able to try Contemporary Corvette in Bristol, Pa. They carry used and new parts for all Corvette versions. Bob C. bobctm3 on 6/21/2010 9:32:20 AM
