Lumbar support in sports seat broken?

I leaned my butt back a bit today while sitting in traffic and heard a snap. The lumbar support felt like it moved back. Now the know doesn't do anything and the lump in the seat where the support was is now flat. Just when I'm most in need of lumbar support, after having been told my lower back is full of herniated, dessicated and bulging disks, I have no lumbar support.

Anyway, has anyone seen this before? Is there any way to reach in there and adjust anything that may have popped out of place, or will I have to visit the dealer? For now I'll have to run out and get one of those little support pillows.

No that I know of. Maybe someone else can chime in. It may be dealer time.

Well it's not too hard to remove the back of your seat and access the inside. But, you're certainly under warranty so I'd call and get an appointment asap. I assume you bought from Princeton MINI? Or perhaps Morristown - their service departments will take good car of you.
