I've got the same problem with mine. Try getting some new foam to put in there. Go to a fabric store or find an upholstery shop. It'd be a heck of alot cheaper than replacing the seat.

I dunno if your seats are the same, but on my cloth seats the fabric is held down to the seat frame with 2 long clips that snap under the front and rear of the seat. I went to a fabric store to get a chunk of foam for I think $12 and carved it to shape with an electric turkey carver, and evened it out with a razor. It wasn't too hard, and the foams cheap enough to not worry about mistakes. Eazy squeezy!

Go find an upholstery shop and get them fixed. My drivers seat had no support in it, the springs were gone, and the passenger seat was similar, and had torn vinyl. Had it all fixed for $200 by a pro, and I no longer have to sit on a towel when I do 8 hour drives. Saved my $900 for a new set of seats, although power/heated leather seats would've been great.
