Angry Driver Seatback panel breaks (again)

Ok second time now... First time I had dealer replace the part for ~ $280 (total).

This is the plastic panel on the back of the driver seat; the bottom appears to break loose, and will not click or clamp back into the seat.

I'm a pretty big guy (240lb), and holding my hand against the seat-back while sitting in the seat, i feel pressure; so i'm probably breaking some plastic clip or something. The dealer quoted me $280 again for replacement parts + labor.

Anyone else have this problem?

I actually think there's a DIY somewhere in the net. The piece you're breaking is the lumbar support right? I believe is on the AudiDiy site or on the A4mods site, check it out it might save you 120 bucks.

Here is a write up I just did. You actually don't have to purchase new clips or a new lumbar system. Did it all for under $20.
