It may seem strange, but even the seat handle can break after years of use. The good news is that it can be replaced, and you don't necessarily have to go to a body shop for it. In fact, we can see proof of this in the video. So let's get to work: use a flathead screwdriver to pry off the entire handle from the seat, but first, detach the metal cable that it operates.

Then, fit the same cable into the new handle, place the latter on the seat in the direction of its housing, and push firmly to secure it. Job done.
