Bare in mind that these are handed. I bought both. When they arrived I got all excited and just whacked the first one out of the box into the passenger seat. It was the wrong one. I broke it trying to get it out again.

Anyone having trouble with the Nipple not catching. Use a McDonald's straw, found in the back seat area, and push the straw in from the front part of seat direction to hold the Nipple towards the back as you slot in the replacement catch mechanism. Hope this helps anyone else. BTW I think any straw will do, doesn't have to be a well known fast food brand :-)

hi passenger side fixed but driver side is not working after replacement. I am afraid the nipple is not catching. I would like to try with a straw but do not understand how you mean. Can you explain exactly where to place the straw? And do you do this before you push on the replacement handle or after? And do you leace it in after finished or take out? Thanks!!

This tilt seat mechanism failure is not wear and tear. It is an inherent design fault and as such ford should do something about these many thousands of failures. I repaird mine twice for each seat. Then the 3rd plastic lever unit failed again, finnally in both. Next I got 2 new seats from an 05 from a breakers, same cost as buying 2 new plastic levers. They have now failed. I communicated with a ford bod online but he just waffled me off. I bet ebay has sold thousands of these and this would give some indication of the seriousness of the faulty design. NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE.

Try pulling the cable to release the seat. If you can't release it then it's probably bust. However it might just need a bit of wd40 to help it release so I would try that first too. Good luck with it

@barrydownings3337
8 жыл бұрын
the lugs on the seat handle dont matter as you are replacing them. break them if you need to. stick a screw driver in the other two sides ( left/right) and see if you can feel anything that may be stopping the release. if you still can not release it my next step would be to cut it off. If you have a dremmel then this will be super easy. Put on a cutting disk and take away sections around where the lugs are located. this if anything will give you a view of the problem. If all else fails cut it off a bit at a time, no rush its not a race. Go slow and steady and keep looking at the new handle for referance as to where you are cutting and what will be in that area.hope thats given you a few ideas if you have still not managed to get it off Nath. Good luck and please share your findings on your problem so that it may help others on here. cheers Barry

Hi Bruno, are you replacing the full cable or just replacing the handle? The seats are very easy to take out, just always take care if they have air bags fitted that you dont 1, set it off. 2, break the connection plug when removing. I would suggest looking for a video on seat removal if you are unsure. If i can help further please feel free to message me mate. :-)

I am on the third set of these handles now. God awful design. Inbetween buying new handles I loop a piece of strong nylon cord around the end tag of the cable and just pull that. In fact it works much better that way, never breaks, just doesn't look as good.

Those handles are a complete Ford rip-off! I Am a motor trader and almost every Fiesta I buy has broken handles. These cost £36 EACH from Ford! None of the previous Fiestas, KA, Pumas, Focus have this problem. The design of these handles while stylish is very-very brittle. Pull them too hard and they break, especially if pulled by eager little kids getting in the car for a day out! And Ford have a copyright on the design, thats why you never see them for sale as after market parts. Someone I know at Ford told me they buy them in for a mere £1.25 EACH!!!

Fella, feel free to post one of you doing yours. I put it up to try and help out anyone who was stuck doing theirs as there was no vids up to refer to when I changed mine. I fitted mine then realised what a git it is to do, and thought I'd put this vid up to try and help out anyone else with the same problem. If all you got is negative comments then post your own vid showing how to do it. Or you could wind your neck in and keep the cocky negative comments to your self and let the ppl with positive comments that will actually benefit others have their say without wasting their time reading your garbage comments!! That being said, have a great day and I hope you fixed your seat, despite my yawping on!!!! :-)
