seat height adjuster stuck

[vitaminC]

I recently picked up an '03 986S with standard seats, and the driver side seat height adjuster seems to be broken. I can make the adjustment on the passenger side without any issues. The driver side lever moves freely and does not appear to be connected to anything.

Any thoughts about what the issue might be? I would really like to get this resolved as it's stuck at full up and that is way too high for my comfort!

Is it likely to be as simple as replacing the lever as shown here (#13)? Or is it likely that I'll need to dig more in to the height mechanism itself?

Thanks for any input.

Just looked at the backside of the lever with a mirror, and it appear that it's still connected to the cable that goes to the gas strut (same as on the passenger side), so I guess that means the seat needs to come out for further inspection.
