Default Power seat problems

The drivers seat in my C5 has never worked properly and recently when I changed out the cover I noticed when I removed the seat that one of the plastic clevis rods or connectors (there are two, 1 front and 1 rear both white in color although my friends 2002 has black colored ones) was broken off. Dealer does not sell this part and said you must replace the whole seat track (expensive). Is there anyone out there that makes this part. My motor works fine! any help appreciated. Aloha

Have you ever found an aftermarket clevis or maybe another GM power seat that uses the same clevis. Mine was fixed using a hose clamp to tighten it up, but took in for an alignment and now it's totally stripped out after their 400lb mechanic thought it was an amusment ride..Thanks
