You know, pool noodles, those long brightly colored foam things everyone is floating around the pool on.

There has been lots of discussion on this and in another thread someone asked for pic’s. I did the passenger side of my 240D this weekend, so I snapped a few shots along the way. Basically, just take the seat out in one piece and shove the noodles in. Time required: maybe two hours with little kids around. Degree of difficulty: Hey, I did it! Cost: $1.44 per noodle vs. $250 for new spring box!

1. Front bolt locations.
2. Remove plastic trim at rear.
3. Rear bolt location.
4. Extra bolt to side rail.
5. Removing the seat.
6. Looking at the springs.
7. Stuffing the noodles.
8. Almost done.

My springs were not broken; I was just adding needed additional support. Works great!
