Fiesta Mk6 Seat realese cable broken, Help needed?

[leeandstaz]

Hi Guys,

I have a 3 door mk6 fiesta 04 Reg, And on both the drivers and passangers seat the cable that releases the seat for it to tilt forward have broken, So therefor i am unable to use the c ar at present as i cant get the rest of the family in without climbing over the seats.

So i have removed the one seat and i cant see how the cable can be replaced as i dont know how the plastic surround around the lifting leaver is fitted.

Does anyone know how these new cables can be fitted and do i need to remove the lifting leaver and Surround and ifso does anyone know how i do so??

Cheers in Advance.

This is a common problem with the mk6's. I've never done one myself but I know the whole rear seat fabric has to be removed as the cable runs right down to the base of the seat.

have the same problem butonly with my passenger seat, you said that the whole fabric must be removed, but i have full leather seats, is there any other way?
