Front seat tilt lever snapped off.

Post by trenchn »

Hi All,
I don't know if this is a common problem, but both of the seat tilt levers on my sons Polo have snapped off. I have tried gluing them, but they just snap off again.
Has anyone had this issue and sorted it?
I think they need to be operational for the MOT which is imminent...
Thanks .

Hi Nick,

When you say the front tilt seat lever - my car (a 9n3 also) has seats whose tilt is controlled by a rotating disc that I had to replace quite recently. If it is that which has snapped, they can bought for very cheap from here - https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/0.h ... 2825062433.

Hope that's of some help. If not let me know and I'll have another dig around online.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately not.
I have attached a picture of the part.
I know they can be replaced, but I'm not sure how as they attach inside the seat!
Cheers
Nick

They come with a metal clip inside the end and push on.
Also the surround for these are prone to coming off.
