Power Seat Cable Repair on W124--Part 1 Pictures Included

I have been remiss in not reporting the resolution of this problem. It turned out that my seat adjustment cable on my 1994 E320 was defective (square drive cable had a "rounded" end that would not properly engage the square drive socket). As a temporary fix, I devised the "Redneck Power Seat Adjustment" tool that may be of interest to some of you--picture attached. In response to my wife's desire for a more "technically pleasing" solution, I decided to perform surgery on the offending cable by adjusting the length as described in several posts on this site. I am including pictures of the process for modifying the cable--sort of a brief pictorial DIY. Since I can only post 5 attachments with this posting, the remaining pictures are in a Part 2 posting that follows. I am happy to report that it fixed my problem. Cheers, John Downey
