Lumbar: On mine, at least, the lower rod (similar to a bed spring) of the lumbar mechanism had broken. I slipped a piece of SS tubing the proper ID (got mine from Amazon for $9, but expect a piece of copper tubing from Home Depot would also work) over the broken wire then super glued and crimped it.

Seat Back: I pushed a 8-10 plastic expansion anchor into the rectangular slot on the seat back (your picture 5, two arrows). Then I measured the distance from the upper clips to the plastic anchors. One the seat back, it falls almost dead center in the broken brackets and is not very critical. Next drill a hole for a #8 screw in the seat back at that spot (be careful not to catch the netting like I did). Screw a #8 x 1 1/2 or so screw through the seat back and into the plastic anchor until it just catches. Pop the upper clips into place, then tighten the two screws. I had two black screws, but for the location, silver would be pretty unnoticeable (or a little magic marker to cover the screw heads).

Cost almost nothing, easy to do, virtually unnoticeable and mine has been great for >6 months.

The only tool you will need is a Flathead screw driver

and the repair kit for $22.17( no instructions included)

next pull the bottom of the plastic backing toward you and with the flathead screw driver reach up to the top of the plastic cover and push the screwdriver in between the metal backing of the seat and the pin on the plastic backing and turn to pop off the 3 clips

here is a pic of the top 3 clips/pins after removal

Once the whole plastic back is off place the felt tape over the metal ends on the back of the seat

Next slide the metal clips into the plastic area where the clips had originally been broken
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/73988/tabs_go_here.jpg">
make sure you press down firmly so that they wont pop out
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/73988/dsc00336.jpg">
now push the long ends of the metal clips in to make them straight

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/73988/dsc00344.jpg">
(Almost done) install the bottom first and make sure the 2 long metal ends go over the the metal plate where you put the felt tape and push down firmly but don't over do it, finally align the top 3 tabs with the holes and push in

The finished project

Once I figured out what I was doing it only took about 15 minutes to do.
