Yes, the invisible glass is safe for tint. Just make sure you use a soft cloth ( I use old t-shirts for all window cleaning) and never use paper.

I have the same problem and it is driving me nuts. I just bought the car last week. I didn't notice it in the test drives. I am trying a wedge pillow and it seems to help. The seat seems to fit better when I am lifted up about 2 inches.
Overall, very frustrating.

I test drove both the Accord and Camry 09 and found the lumbar support to be a problem in both.( in minimum position). Did anybody feel that in Camry?

A better place for your question is either here: ashwinkumar96, "Honda Accord vs Toyota Camry" #2784, 13 Oct 2008 9:01 pm or here: 2009 Toyota Camry.

Best results I got was to put layer of cardboard over seat first to neutralize bump and then layer of memory foam over cardboard to end up with a comfortable seat. Haven't tried it yet on long trip, but most promising of anything I tried. I found bottom line is that bump has to be neutralized. And the irony is I do like lumbar support in general, but they sure blew it with this one

Thanks for the idea. I think I have found a work around for this problem. I jammed a pen behind the headrest which pushes the head rest forward and the lump in the seat down. I haven't tried this on a long trip but I can't believe after all the cushions and things I've tried, the solution may be as easy as this. Thanks for pointing out the connection between the headrest and the lumbar bump

How hard was it to fix the driver side based on your description above? I am not close to being a machanic. Do you think it would be best for me to print out what you have here and take it into the shop to adjust? Any other details that you think would be helpful to know? Just looking to get a sense of if this was a pretty easy fix.
The driver seat has gotten me so frustrated that I have looked at trading the car in a couple times.
If you have some time to talk offline that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

the lumber support on the 8 way power seat was hurting my back. I had a shop remover the leather off the seat and then removed a 12 x 10" hard plastic lumber plate that was killing my back after 15 min. please make sure the the shop also removes all the metal wires and plastic support clip/bar that connect the plastic plate to the form and leather of the seat. YOU WILL SEE A DIFFERENCE .....only cost me $250. The passenger seat of the EX-L seat is without the lumber plate for it is only a 4 way power seat. dont sell the car....just remove the lumber plate and ALL the metal wire/plastic support pieces ( tell the shop to cut and remove any extra pieces use to connect the hard plate from the seats foam. please respond to let us know if this corrects the problem for u too

If you're ever in an accident, especially a collision from the rear, hopefully the intergrity of the seat structure hasn't been compromised to cause additional injury. I've always liked a prominent lumbar support for my back as it helps suport proper spine alignment and posture. You have voided the warranty (on the seat only) by modifying it as stated and woudn't recommend anyone else doing so.

are you kidding...The plate that makes the lumber support in the drivers seat (8way power) does not come the in the passenger side seat (4 way with out adjustable lumber). How is the passenger seat less safe than the drivers seat. By removing the hard plastic plate with wire/plastic connectors that attach to the inside seats leather ( these are the objects that pokes the driver in the back and inflict pain). the two seats, driver and passenger, now have the same comfort and i did not remove any of the metal that works with the the active head restraint system.
so you would have rather that I my sell the car ( like others here on this forum had suggested they may have to do), secondary to the painful plate and loss thousands of dollars..right?
the two seats, driver and passenger are now the same comfort.... lets see what other peoples post will say or do.
