Technical Seat catches

[rogercuthbert]

Recently bought a 2012 Abarth 500. Both seats have broken release catches and new originals appear to be £125 each.

Has anyone sourced any non originals or breakers parts and if so how easy is it to replace?

Any advice appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi there I managed to fix mine .
The piece of plastic housing that houses the ball end of the seat release cable ,
I managed to get the ball in to position and secure a metal (brass) plate over it so the ball stays in position .
