    Could someone please upload a picture of the driver's seat adjuster cable attachment point on the inside rail.

    I have taken a picture of mine that came disconnected...

    Thank you for your help

    Answered my own question.

    That's a hook (circled in red) that you can't see the opening from at this angle. I needed to remove the seat to work from the underside. Just needed to twist the track lock open to allow the cable to reach the hook end and was able to slide it over to secure it again.

    Fixed!

    In case you're wondering: The cable just doesn't come undone. I had the seat out to replace the broken inner plastic cover at the recliner hinge. It is necessary to unbolt the outside track frame from the seat so the rod that supports the rear of the seat frame goes through the hole in the plastic cover. When I had the frame apart, the cable must of come unhooked and I didn't realize it until the seat was reinstalled and I couldn't adjust the position. Fortunately it was not necessary to remove the frame again to fix it. Just removed the seat and re-hooked.
