Seat issue on driver's side.

[Georgia Cat]

I have an 03 Bird and have an issue with the left side of the seat which houses the directional lever for the seat. It has separated somewhat from the rest of the seat, possibly the tabs holding it to the rest of seat have broken or something. I went to a Ford dealer and they said that there had been issues with that part both on the T-Bird and the Ford F-150 of that year. Upshot is that Ford does not have that part any longer and they don't know if they will ever have it again. Does anyone have a parts source that might have it? Any help is appreciated. Georgia Cat!

I am taking a stab at this, so here goes. The Thunderbirds we built in the Wixom Ford plant that the Lincoln LS came out of and I do believe on the same platform and engine. I wonder what you are looking for was the same part that went on the 2003 LS. Take a look at this Ebay ad and see. Some time times they use the same parts to save on cost: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2000-2006-L...ash=item1a33f9f375:g:BUYAAOSwbiFZUTvP&vxp=mtr

Hi
If you go to EBay and look up autoalexparts they might have what you need.
Send them a message and they will respond.
They are in Ca. I was trying to get some interior parts for my 04 and they had them.
Good luck

Go to Ebay again and take a look at their front seat switches for the Ford 150 & Expedition. They all had the same problem: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1PC-Power-M...ash=item3adff133de:g:cnEAAOSwuLZYyl2s&vxp=mtr
