Default '01 Boxster seat height handle cracked

I just got a 2001 986 (my 1st Porsche) and the plastic handle/lever for the manual driver side seat height adjustment is cracked, allowing it to spin on the spline...so I can't adjust the seat. I haven't yet found a source for a replacement handle. Suggestions please?

Don't see any of the levers on the seat bottom side available separately.

See the parts drawings towards the bottom of the page at this link:

You might check with your local Porsche dealer parts department to see if any of the levers are available separately.

If not you might have to buy the part of the seat or even an entire seat. There is also seats from salvaged cars available.

Have you disassembled the seat and removed the lever? Spinning on the spline reads like possibly not only is the lever bad but possibly the shaft to which it fits so you might need both parts.
