Hello, driver's seat sagging in the middle, when I set down in it I am really low, wondering if anyone has a DIY fix.
thanks

Hello,

It sounds like either the seat cushion is just flat of the center support for the seat is too weak or both.
With issues like this the best option would be to replace the seat bottom. As the center support as well as the cushion is unable to hold any weight.

There are not simply DIY fix for this besides replacing the seat bottom.

You might be able to find a replacement seat from a salvage yard, which is likely the best option for this Jeep.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
