Default Seats!!!

Help - I need to repalce my Seats in my 98'.
Asked the dealer if I could order new ones -
Nope - the only sell the parts to fix them ----

Previous owner was a large male who busted the dam driver seat and my wife slides all over the place when she turns corners-


Thoughts or suggestions???

Thanks in advance!!!

what is broken ,, the drivers seat only...??
is it the back or the bottom???
if its the bottom part of the seat.. you can replace just the seat rail.. which includes all the motor drives and gears.. if your just trying to fix the one seat as oppose to getting two new seat.. its relatively inexpensive,,, New seat could cost 2000 dollars,,, you could find some used seats on ebay or here in the C5 forsale forum... or you can buy a new seat adjuster its right around 500 dollars..

Try Gene's Kar Shop. He's a forum sponsor who sells used parts. Bet he could fix you up.
