Abstract
A seat fore-and-aft adjuster for a vehicle seat may have a lower rail and an upper rail. The adjuster may also have a drive unit, a gearbox unit having a gearbox housing, and a cover element. The upper rail may have at least one through-hole. The cover element may have at least one covering region, which is formed from two cover legs opposite to and parallel with one another. The cover element may have at least one covering sub-region arranged laterally to the covering region. The covering sub-region is defined by a covering wing protruding vertically in the longitudinal direction from one of the cover legs. The covering region is frictionally and/or interlockingly connected to the housing section, and the covering sub-region covers at least one connecting region of the bracket above that of the upper rail by the covering wing.
