I posted this elsewhere and it was suggested that I try this forum. Anyone know if 997 rails and 996 rails are the same?

I bought a pair of sport seats and the handle/lever that moves the seat back and forth is broken. No one seems to sell it as a stand alone piece.

996 rails are cheap and was hoping I could use them to fix my 997 handle/lever.

I have installed a used set of 996 GT-3 seats in my 09 987.2. They fit fine, but I cannot be sure that the previous owner did not change the rails. You should be able to get aftermarket adjustable seat rails for them. You may want to try calling one of the vendors that sell race seats to find what you need.

Not sure this helps but I installed 996 GT3 Euro seats from my 996 into my 997 and it fit perfectly.

996 / 997 use the same mounting points. You can swap 996/997 seats and hardware. I have swapped 997 GT2 RS seats into 996s and vise-versa no problem.

996 and 997 rails are interchangeable. Wouldn't that mean 987 rails are the same too?

FWIW! I need some manual rails and mounts for my 997.
