4 years old, but this video is still giving. thank you!

[@marcoruffoni5567]

Can’t believe it’s been 10 years my car seat has never folded down. I needed this video, thank you.

[@robingreen9086]

Absolutely awesome, I have no experience of the damn seats repairs, but I watched what you did to get the seat down, and it took me about 1 1/2 minutes, so we can now use the Fiesta as planned, thank you. Brilliant. Rob

[@oldblokeh]

Man, you are a legend! I sorted my son's car out in no time at all with the help of your excellent video, and at zero cost. Thank you so much.

[@chrisgibby3513]

Thanks so much!! Took me a while to manually release the catch, I couldn't do it with my fingers and thought the whole mechanism was broken. As a last resort I used a pair of pliers to gently pull upwards and it released - great!

[@invisiblebeing]

You've made my date, dude. Swapped the two around and everything works as new

[@tonylewis4334]

Thank you for the video did not have a clue how to repair the seat latch till I watched this

[@mikeuk1954]

I know this is 3 years old but it helped me out no end and saved me a lot money on replacement parts. Great tips here thanks. 👍👍

[@johnlattimore9532]

Great video, you really helped with the dismantling of the release lever. Didn't want to swap the pieces over so drilled a couple of small holes either side of the broken piece and threaded it all together with a small cable tie. Removing the orange flap to drill 1 of the holes was the fiddliest part.

[@robertjones4324]

Really helpful, saved me loads of time and the cost of a new handle. Thank you!

[@junosix2453]

That worked for me! Thanks so much for the video, that's one more minor Fiesta issue I can tick off the list

[@tonyasquith1616]

Perfect, brilliant video. Followed this to repair my catch on the Ford Fusion (which is the same) worked just as described. Thanks for putting video up.

You are a Genius Man, thanks a lot for your brain 🧠 😀

[@sulleemanimd8477]

Thanks, legend

[@moominboyuk]

This word like a dream for me. However you do need a TX50 star drive to remove the two bolts holding each unit. TX50 are inexpensivce (£5.00) and can purchased at Halfords in the UK

[@Myth_Toshi]

Thank you

[@erkanbalik7971]

I will try that mate

[@SimmyG65]

Cheers, V helpful

[@rayrayfps5826]

Very helpful video. One side fixed and pin came out easily. Other side I can't seem to force the metal pin out. Any suggestions welcome 🙏

[@murattorlak5522]

Teşekkürler

[@hayderalkaaby6225]

Nice video. But wich tool should be used to take these tow screw ou?

[@andrewrood9200]

thanks for the video my latch was stuck it must be a common problem

[@claza2437]

This is the method I used for removing the pin. I used a thin set of pincer pliers and put one handle through the gap where the red mechanism slides in. Get the pliers on the end of the pin and squeeze gently. This should push the plastic forward slightly. Then you will need something metal and strong like a trim removal tool or possibly a flat screwdriver. Place this above middle of the pin that is exposed, pushing the plastic towards the side where the torx bolts screw in. Use the pliers for extra leverage. As you move along keep adjusting the pliers and gradually apply more pressure. I have read that apparently it is beneficial to take the pins out completely and swap with a smaller nut and bolt. This apparently relieves some of the pressure that causes the handles to snap in the first place, will also make for easier removal when they inevitably do snap again.

[@claza2437]

Also get some WD-40 in there and hopefully it will make life slightly easier

[@jacksharratt3835]

Can u fix them cause I have got a Ford Fucion 2004

[@yalndemirci5705]

Removing the upper case is hard. Iam afraid its pin is gonna broke. Iam lifting from the back back didnt release any advice?

[@georgewhitehead6396]

How do you release the seat so you can fix it?

[@Satnamsingh-hs9em]
