    Hey all! First time here and post here. I have been trying to find an answer to my issue and looked all over the place, I cannot find a solution...so I thought you all may be able to help.

    I bought a used 2013 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab LB 4x4 about a year ago. I notice that when I make sharper turns there seems to be a clicking in the lumbar part on my driver's seat. I live on some pretty windy roads and it has gotten very annoying. When I turn right I can feel something in my back area click to the left, and when I turn right I can feel it turn left. I was told it was most likely a tension wire on the lumbar grid that is shifting and needs insulated or if you cant find it the grid will need replaced. Messing with the seat position and lumbar knob can stop it periodically, but it seems to keep coming back. I took my truck to the Toyota dealership by my house last week and they could not find/fix the issue. Weird, since I noticed it within 5 minutes of getting my truck back. Let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions! I'm not too car savvy so fixing it myself could be difficult. Thanks!

    What you were told sounds correct, you would need to remove the seat material to get to the frame portion. Take pictures of it before and as you remove it cause it can be annoying to figure out how it all goes back together.
