For the benefit of anyone who couldn't get the lever assembly to seat properly have a look at the smaller of the two clips on the new part. I noticed that it wasn't finished properly in the manufacturing process and there was no gap at the bottom clip that's necessary for that clip to seat properly. This was the case with the right hand handle assembly, but the new left hand one was done correctly. A junior hacksaw and a small drill fixed the problem. Hope that helps someone.
cheers mate just got my grand daughter a fiesta and both are bust ( but last owner bought the latches and left them in the car) now going to try and do it
Always breaking off on my mums Fiesta all Mk6 3 doors will have this issue at some point in it’s life as it’s design fault passenger seat has been left without the plastic handle as we’ve got fed up of it.
But does anyone know why they break? I ask this because my daughters broke because it was jammed, what causes this to jam , is it a problem with the cable or the mechanism on the other end of the cable? Will WD-40 free it up?
Could anyone help I was able to take off the handle but I just can’t fit the new handle on I try follow the vid exactly but the cable won’t clip in and the handle won’t go fully down
Finally ended up building the confidence to change mine, fuck me it was hard ended up ripping it off and breaking it (I had a spare one) then replaced it but jeez those clips are hide to find are idk why but for me they didn't unclip when using a srewdriver
Trust me your not the only one. Especially if you brought a cheap part from China. I'm gonna be paying £100+ to get this done properly at a ford garage, already broken 2 cheap chinese pieces of ****.
That was the case with mine. An inapt 'mechanic' broke that piece (shown at 02:31) while trying to remove the old handle!!! The new handle gets into place but the seat still doesn't tilt... I did an easy cheap fix by applying a carabiner ring through the wire. Now I pull the ring to tilt the seat!

looks easy but I can't get the handle to self locate. I'm just left with a handle that does nothing. Is this an official part or an aftermarket?
Thanks mate will try this tommorow 👊
Just did try..neither cable just 'jumped on' ..both disappeared down hole.had to take both new handles off. Both broke..f failure 14£ down drain
Really helpful. Thanks La

@@tomcass240100 pound! For seat handles wow !
Thanks a lot mate
Your a star! Thank you. xxx
What happens when that black tab that is under the wire. Broke?
Then it makes your life a c#*t
Need to replace the wire inside the seat its really complicated (need to take the seat out and attach new wire then re-fit handle

El de arriba que es el más difícil de quitar no se ve como lo hace
Thank you!!!
