Default Electric seat control

Anyone know what holds the electric seat control in place. I'm talking about the long one for front & back movement.

I would like to know also. Mine on the drivers side has pulled away leaving a 1" gap between the controls and seat. Guess I will find out this spring when removing the seat to replace the cushion.

Clips and a long sheet metal screw in the front. Usually if is pilled away it is the screw in the front has pulled thru or broken out of the panel.Easily replaced for between $45 to 70 depending who you get it from.

I thought I'd post a pic of mine. Maybe someone will know how to keep it from falling down.

From your picture, the switch is broken. There is a pot metal bracket that the plastic piece clips to. On yours the pot metal bracket is broken.
I have a good used seat control available for $100 shipped. PM me for additional details.
