Seat adjustment Gears

[Joseph K.]

Has any one come across a rebuilding kit for the gears in the seat adjustment in a 92 or a typical C4. All the INTERNET places want $200 plus a core for the entire seat rail system. Both of my seats need to be repaired and I rather not spend $400 on rebuilt rails. The guys that rebuild them must be getting the parts to repair the gears from somewhere. It doesn't look that hard to replace the worn gears. Anyone repaired the gears before?

I looked for some kind of component-level repair kit when I needed to fix the driver's side seat on my 1985. I found nothing and ended up replacing the entire seat rail.

I agree with the futile search on the kit but it must be out there some were because they are repairing them.
