The good news is I found a replacement band on eBay for about $45. The bad news is when I got it I realize the ends of it or frayed even more than my original band from 2004. I then found out you have to pretty much disassemble the entire bottom of the seat to get the band swapped out. I did eventually get it swapped out but after sitting in it the first time as a test and looking under again I see that the foam is still pushing out of the plastic frame. The band is in place but whatever kept the foam inside the frame has weakened to the point where all of my weight is riding on that band.

It looks like I might have to find an older frame.
