my driver side seat tilt handle has broke off i have found the parts on ford parts uk but i just want to know if it's an easy fix or not

No clue if they are easy to fit as the driver side has completely broken off in my car and the passenger one has just stopped working.

Can you link the page on FordPartsUK, where you found the seat handles?

here you go buddy http://www.fordpartsuk.com/shop/search.php?start=10&cat=119

Kev will be the one to ask.
I have tried to remove one from a spare set of seats and it was a nightmare.

yeah I've been reading that the seat handles are by default faulty, so they will break a lot :S, seems ford were cutting corners on price and never tested the handles that well.

5-door ftw

i hardly ever go in the back and if i do, i treat them carefully

Mines been broken for over a year, I can just about open my seat but if anyone else uses it it comes of in there hand

I just tell em to use the other side if they want to get in

I have no choice about using the back seat because i have to put the baby in the back every day, ill have to have a look around and see if anywhere can fix it for me or just go to ford and get charged £500

piss easy. just pull the old one out, it will come, just wiggle it a bit. I used a hacksaw though tbh. the new one drops in far easier, just clicks in place.

when its in, feed the cable with bar through and hey presto!

£17 all in.

it is easy.

Mine got stuck, but seemed to fix itself somehow.

mine stopped workin last night, it only seems to pull up half way but i dont want to try and pull it up further incase it snaps off

dont do it lol, the hinges are only plastic i think thats why they break so easily

lol, would i need a new handle and cable then?

when i bought mine it was rock solid and just kept wigling up and down then it just popped open =] but iv also found that it is ruining my seats!! the cable is scratching the leather =[

i didnt realise this many people had this problem i thaught it was just me, i think its a joke poor build quality there ford, must have been saving the pennys

Same thing on the mk7 the seat handles are crap!

What we need is custom made alloy ones

Anyone good with metal?

The cables had snapped in both of my seats, one about a year ago and the other about 2 weeks ago.I decided i would have to give it a go myself.(arnold clark wanted £160 odd to do it but im skint just now).
The cable kit was £20.21, my handle wasnt broke(till now)but at least the seats tilting again.
I'll post more details when I get a chance

im goin to buy the part off fordpartsuk at the end of the month when i get paid and have a go at it myself, just hope the other one doesnt go on me now
