not correct. i ordered JUST the lumbar strap for my father's '05 from the dealership and installed it myself. my dealer also told me the other day that the individual piece is still available for the pre-06's just not for the 06-08 seats.

I wonder if the 05 seat parts will work in the 06? I am willing to bet at least the little white threaded piece is the same and I could remove the metal pin and swap only the broke piece? I might try to order this week for a 05 and compare to what I have. I will post my findings for others as soon as i can. thanks BroncoHound.

That's great to know that the parts are interchangeable between the 03-05 seats and the 06+ seats. Sure beats paying $400 for a new seat back! Great job, Mr. Brown and thanks for the update!

Don't bother explaining to the parts guys what you are looking for. Just walk in, hand them the part number, and say "order it." It seems to be the only way to get through with some of these parts counter knuckleheads.

Mine also had that little white piece break. I took my truck to the shop 3 weeks ago just before my 36000 mile ran out, and they said they had to order parts from the mfg. They called last week and said the parts were in. Taking it in Monday for the new parts. I will try and get them to tell me who the mfg is and get there name so you can order the parts.

Check out this site. It was for an 03 electric one, but I do not see why an similiar repair could not be thought of for a manual one.
