Rod:

Have you considered taking the seat to a welder, and having it welded upI I
have done this with some seats (in a Toyoto) that were broken as the result
of a "rear-ender" with good results, and the cost was negligable, since I
removed the covering before hand. Depending on where the break is, you might
need to weld on some stiffener pieces as well.
