yep, it broke at the clip (platic end), you need a new cable.

 

I understand that, because of this crappy design, Dodge wants to sell me a new cable priced at $120. But I refuse to pay that much and that is the reason I want to see a picture of the U nut used by cchambliss. If I cant figure it out I will go to the salvage yard and replace the entire cable for $5.

 

Here is a link to Service Bulletin 23-012-06

"OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves installing a new parts kit or spring on the 3rd row seat."

It has instructions for installing the kit and may be helpful for someone attempting a DIY repair.
