How to replace the front seat handle of the Ford Fiesta

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Handle

Today we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the handle of the backrest tilting of the front seat of the Ford Fiesta. First of all, we get on board the cabin and start lifting the seat covering from the bottom upwards; then we use a thin and pointed lever to detach and remove the handle from the seat, disconnecting the metal cable, as shown in the video. At this point, we install the new handle, of the correct type, making the connection; we verify the correct functioning of the handle, finally reassembling the covering.
