How to Replace the Seat Lever on the Ford Fiesta?

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 5, MK 5, MK V - Years 2002-2008
Part: Seat

To replace the front seat recline handle on the Ford Fiesta, lift the handle next to the headrest and remove it by releasing the two side pins. At this point, extract the cable that was previously covered by the handle and allows the seat to recline. Once the cable is extracted, connect it to the new handle, which can then be inserted into its housing and secured with the side pins. After installing the new handle, check that everything functions correctly.
