your seat to go up and down. Does the front of the seat still go up and down?
It can be fixed, but it's very expensive and time consuming.
Either put a phone book under your seat and forget about it, or buy
a used rail, in the parts section.

I hope your not a "big" guy like me... That could be embarassing to explain 
Anyway good luck with the repair... Try Search function in C5 Gen and C5 Tech...
I've seen threads before.

I bet you broke one those little plastic connectors that allow
your seat to go up and down. Does the front of the seat still go up and down?

I used thick rubber spacers, put in just the right spot to give me the right height, otherwise you're looking at over $250 for a used rail. The plastic connectors are not available parts for replacement.
