Default Seat Question

I am new to the forum and appreciate your input. I tried searching this forum but did not see an answer. My driver power seat in my standard 2001 is not moving forward and is stuck almost in the most farthest position, so I'm driving with a pillow behind my back and towels so I can reach the gas pedal When I press the power seat forward button, it will move up slightly but only the right side of the seat. My husband removed the seat and saw that there is a long pin looking piece on the left side of the seat that snapped which explains why the left side is not moving. I also have tears on the bottom portion of the seat which cannot be repaired. Does anyone know if I need to replace the entire seat or if a part will fix this problem? Also, if I don't need to purchase an entire new seat, can the bottom half of the seat be replaced or reupholstered? If so, where is best place to purchase new skin or bottom half of seat. Can anyone recommend an upholsterer in the Southwest Florida area if I end up needing to reupholster? Seat is tan and think color is called light oak. Thanks so much!

If you use "C5 Corvette seat track" for the search criteria in Ebay, (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trks...at=0&_from=R40) you'll find quite a few people selling those assemblies. You might be able to find one as scrap to get the parts you need to fix yours. Or just replace the entire thing.
