OT: Can't See My Tractors

Just bought a 2000 Buick Park Ave, clean, 175k miles. Engine runs well, tranny a bit clunky shifting under acceleration. Driver's power seat works fore and aft and the seat back tilts okay, but the vertical up/down for the front and the rear of the seat (seperate motor/gear drives for each)don't work. The motors run, but the gear boxes don't engage the threaded rods they should actuate. I have the seat out and upside down on my garage floor, it doesn't appear that any of the parts were particularly made to be replaced. Anyone have any success trying to rebuild the gear drives or am I looking at a whole new seat rail? Local salvage yards have been a bust, have a few more to check,anyone have a good source for a seat rail? I need to get this fixed fast as it's stuck in the up position, placing my cranium up in the headliner and the rear-view mirrow directly in my line-of-sight, obscuring such items as my Massey 202 and AC B.
 
Bill, Didn't you do something like that when the flywheel came off your car? Or was it when you took your back seat out and put your front seat back there so you would fit in the car? George
 
I had an old station wagon once that the tailgate window stopped working in. Everything worked but there was a a small potmetal gear that was stripped off. I buggered it up some then put it back in place and filled the the recess with JB weld. Worked fine but would maybe cut the dogs head off if you weren't watching :roll:

Crank it down because the gears are stripped was the right answer. Motor drives a metal worm gear that drives a nylon gear, which was missing a quarter of it's teeth. Cranked it to the down position and re-assembled.
