How to temporarily repair a broken seat on a Citroen C4 3-door

Model: Citroen C4 MK 1 - Years 2004-2010
Part: Seat

In this video, we see how to temporarily repair the head of the front seat cable of a three-door Citroen C4. This is a serious problem because it prevents access to the rear seats; in reality, the solution is simple, and only a few tools are needed to do it, only a pair of round-nose pliers and a piece of wire. First, we remove the cover of the seat mechanism, pull the seat cable and spray some WD-40 on it. Make sure the cable slides smoothly, then wrap the wire around the broken head of the cable. Tighten the wire well and transfer it to the other side of the mechanism, tightening it around the small stop cylinder; cut off the excess wire, and that's it.
