Seat cable twist QUESTION

[StorminNorm]

Anyone know the width of the cable for the seats?

I need to replace the cable as my seat is twisting. I've done the fix but sounds like the end of the square cable has rounded off on one end and is skipping.

Thanks!

From what I understand, you can get just the cables at the dealer for a very fair price. Might be easier than fabricating your own.

to get the seat back off you pull up and pull it out, but thats for the head rest. If you are trying to fix the seatback twist the cables and motors are under the seat.

I can't recall the size but you can get the cable at the dealer for about 8 bucks and its easier to replace than modifying the cable.

Ordered from dealer - Thanks.

Got part numbers from www.realoem.com

Sometimes, a savings just isnt a savings if it dont fit. I was looking at some custom cut square cable for $10 on eBay. No sheat - just the cable.
