How do you remove the seat handle of the Fiat 500?

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2024
Part: Seat

Even the handle to release and lift the seats of the Fiat 500, with the passing of the years and continuous use, can break, but the good news is that we can replace it ourselves in a short time, it is not necessary to go to the body shop. If we do not know where to start, here is the video to support us, so let's get to work: It is preferable to take the aforementioned seat out of the cabin to work better, so we unscrew the fixing pins at its base, then we continue by inserting the metal cable, operated by the handle, into it, install the latter in its housing and check that the cable now mentioned is free to slide.
