Default Power Seat Track

Has anyone ever taken your seat track apart to fix what ever is stripped that keeps the forward and rearward movement.

If you did, where did you get the parts to fix it.

I get a lot of C4 seat power seat tracks that will not move forward or rearward. It looks like you have to remove the riviots to get to the problem

You are correct in that you have to drill out the rivets to access the innards on the tracks. No big deal, just replace them with standard 3/16" rivets when you put it back together.

When my track broke, I naturally took it apart to find out what made it tick. However, after searching all over the web, I couldn't find the replacement parts anyone would sell to me. They all wanted the $150 plus for their exchange unit.

I finally took my track to the local boneyard and matched up a track out of a GM van. Cost me $20 and works fine.
