Power seat cable

Okay, I've got to replace the power seat cable assembly in my '93 850glt. I've been able to wrestle to back into a comfortable position by hand, but really want it to work like it's supposed to. Does anyone have a link to a reputable online store where I can purchase one? I've tried places like IPD, VLV World, FCP Groton, ebay and others, but no one has them. Maybe it's a dealer only part?

If you buy at the dealer it is about $40.

Here is a great step by step instruction on replacing the cable and they give you the part #.

Problem with the dealer is the closest one to me is a 45-minute drive one way. I was hoping just to get it online. Oh well - maybe I can order it through the dealer over the phone..

Yea I saw those instructions before and used them to get into the seat back and manually adjust the seat. However, I did it a touch different when I put the seat cover back on. Instead of using hog rings, I just used zip ties. Works perfectly and you can't tell the difference

I got mine from a dealer with a credit card. They shipped it with no problems.

Note: It helps if you take the seat out before taking the cover off.
