Broken handles to lean seats forward
Both of the plastic pieces used to allow me to lean me seats forwrd to allow access to the back seat have broken off. I don't know what they are called so it has been almost impossible to google repairs/replacements.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix rather than replace the whole flippin' seat?
Pictures attached
Driver's Side - the metal bolt (?) appears to ahve broken off
This is the plastic piece that fit was used to pull up to lift the lever
Passenger side - the bolt seems to be in place in this one, but it broke off of the plastic chrome piece

The first time one broke, I replaced it. Pretty easy, you can pull on the square part that’s left on the seat to get access to the screw. It’s a #2 phillips. When the other side broke, the replacement had gotten kinda expensive, like, $50. So I used ! Still holding, knock-on-wood…

Just replaced my driver's sided handle over the weekend, no disassembly required aside from the one screw that holds the handle in place:
Before (remnant of old handle present)
No need to disassemble, just unscrew the screw (while holding remnant of old handle with pliers) and replace with new one.
New one installed
