Default Seat Lever

I had both of the levers that put the front seats forward so you can acess the rear seats. They are on the back of the front seats and go up to allow the seats to go forward or back. I can not find any of them around and need two. The dealership quoted me $58 each and theirs no way in hell I will pay that, it is just the small piece of plastic. Any ideas?

$65 for the pair, but at least you know these ones won't break.

I know that better designed plastic ***** are in the works that'll be stronger than the Ford piece, but cost a whole bunch less than Ford's or that billet piece. They are being tooled right now.

JUNKYARD! You'll probably pay like $2. If you find a vehicle that has been wrecked they should be good, I mean how used can they be?

But they are still plastic, how strong can they be really? I know I snapped both mine off when it was below freezing and it was like breaking a ritz cracker :S

When are you expecting these to be out hopup? I'm curious about them.

i got the same exact problem... most places with wrecked mustangs want to sell the seat as a whole so I cannot get that one piece... I might try to get it under warranty but then they need to take pictures and stuff... Not high on my to do list.

wait a minute..$58 ??? Are you kidding ?? for a little piece of plastic ??? something that probably costs pennies to make? must be a mistake . I'm going to call the stealership tomorrow just for the heck of it to find out how much they cost .
