How to Replace the Seat Handle on a Ford Fiesta

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

Before starting the replacement operations, compare the new part with the old one. Then, remove the lever by simply lifting it and pulling it towards you. Using a pair of flathead screwdrivers, insert them under the cover where the lever was housed. Apply pressure simultaneously on both sides of the cover to release the two clips securing it to the seat, allowing you to remove it without issues. Now, use pliers to pull the cable to lower the seat. Finally, retrace the steps described for reassembly.
