Product Overview
These handles take repeated pulling while the seat is loaded, and the plastic can snap suddenly when cargo is in the way or the latch cable begins to bind. The result is a third-row seat that will not fold even though the latch mechanism may still be usable.
The handle restores the hand-operated release point for the folding seat back. It does not replace a stretched cable, jammed latch, bent seat frame, bezel, or power-folding motor unless those items are shown.
Confirm third-row seat, left or right position, trim color, handle shape, cable attachment, bezel, and original number. Diagnose a stiff latch before installing a new plastic handle onto an overloaded mechanism.
Fitment insight: A broken handle is often the visible symptom, but a stiff cable or seized latch can be the reason it broke. The seat release should move freely before the new handle is put under load.
This handle repairs the user-operated seat release point. If the cable or latch is seized, repair that fault before installing a new plastic handle.
