RE: Seat lever
The dealership wants to charge me 80 bucks to install plus 30 for the part. I ordered the part and ill figure it out myself lol. Probably takes them like 5 minutes to install it and they want an hour of labor. I'm under warranty too kind of gay =/

RE: Seat lever
I heard a reliable rumor that a company will be introducing newly designed plastic seat ***** for our S197 Mustangs that are stronger and will cost less than the crappy Ford pieces.

RE: Seat lever
So - about this rumor.... any other details? My kids are tired of not being able to get out since both of the crappy originals broke off and I don't feel like dealing with the dealer to get the same crap put back on. I would love to see something made out of metal but would settle for stronger plastic.

RE: Seat lever
Thanks for the info back - I'm definitely in line to get something that is stronger. I sent an email MGW to inquire about a custom billet piece and they replied with:
the problem is where this lever is located. it needs to shear off
easily in case of an accident. if someone makes a strong billet piece and it
lodges into a kids head in a collision you are in serious liability.
not to mention it would just suck to be responsible for that.So - I hadn't thought of that - so I'll be waiting on the new and improved plastic pieces.

RE: Seat lever
Actually the seat was originally designed with the side lever before Ford added the Side Impact Airbag option.
My passenger seat lever broke about 3 months into ownership. Ford had to visually see it was broken . Two trips to the dealership one to confirm my claim, another to go pick up the part because it wasn't in stock. A pain in the ****.
I nowuse the lower side levers to avoid another casualty.

RE: Seat lever
If you are under warranty than the dealer should do it for free. Isn't that what a bumper to bumper warrantyis for? Go to a different dealer....sounds like yours is an A-hole!
