Default I broke upper seat recliner?? How to fix?? Anybody else break theirs??

I got in car last night and my parka was wedged under me so I pushed my weight up to get it out from under me and the top of the seat back near the head rest stripped(broke)?? the motor is working but making a clicking sound but the top part of the seat will not hold any pressure.

Anybody else have this issue before, I didn't put very much pressure on the seat when it broke. Must be a plastic part ?? Anybody know if you can buy replacement parts for 2004 A8 front seats??

Default did you adjust all the way fore and aft several times to 'catch' the mechanism?

it may have some type of 'break away' feature that can be reset.
