Omg. I have this same problem! Broke / lost them the last time I removed the seats to grease the rails (pro tip: don't go crazy with the grease....).

Thanks for the solution and to Edward for posting this question, which has been bugging me all winter as my seat shifts in its tracks at every corner.
