Abstract
Guide members are carried on a drive motor mounting bracket in a vehicle power seat adjuster and receive a flex drive shaft extending between the drive motor and a lead screw mounted in the track assembly in a snap-in connection. The guide members stationarily support the flex drive cable from movement and are formed of a pair of spaced legs. Inner surfaces of the legs have an arcuate shape to snap around and tightly engage the flex drive cable housing.
