Hi Alan. I have a Focus Convertible and they suffer with the same problem. To try to avoid any breakages I always push the 'seat back' towards the rear of the car before pulling the lever. I find this takes all the tension off the mechanism and the lever pulls without any resistance. Hopefully mine will stay working for a long time to come because the Focus CC ones are unique to that model and aren't bloody cheap! Another great vid, keep up the good work :)

Had that before, temporary repair... tip the seat forward to let the cable go slack get a pair of narrow nose pliers on the metal lug pull it up and thread a tie wrap between the two wires to create a loop, cut the excess off the tie wrap and use a file to take the sharp edge off the tie wrap.... Works a treat and passes an MOT

Remember there are left and right handed levers when you order a replacment. I have replaced 2 of these, wish i had seen this U tube before i did them. The first one I chewed out as i had no idea how it was fitted. second one much easier as I had seen how it fitted. Excellent Video this one.

Popped in your place on Wednesday Alan ( Steve's cars 4 sale) that Ryan is a lovely fella, let me test drive the x3 and the 221000 mile red golf, couldn't believe how nice that drove, they're a real friendly helpful bunch up there ain't they, Ryan didn't try to pressure me at all and I didn't realise you give a 12 month warranty on all cars over 1k in price , popped down the road to say hello to you ( but all your shutters were down ) so left it, very impressed with the used car set up at the car lot.

Best video on here by far for showing how to deal with this bloody awful problem. I bought an ebay replacement part for £6.95. After struggling to get the broken part off I watched your video and had another go. Once I located the spring lugs and knew to push down as well as in it worked. Second one was a bit trickier but it clicked free eventually. New part just slotted in first time perfectly. So grateful to you for this excellent video. Thanks again. :-)

Yes it would have been tricky if I'd have not watched this, but as long as you follow what you say, piece of cake. I used a non-genuine handle. Thank you again.

The reviews on amazon are really hit and miss so I didn't chance it and bought genuine replacements. The wider clip is the easiest to budge but the thinner one is a pain in the backside to get to. I used a small hex head screwdriver to get into that side and then pull hard with both disengaged to remove the handles. After doing 2 seats I can definitely see why garages don't want to do this work if they can help it.
