3 door 02 plate fiesta car seat lever issues

[elsdon18]

I'm wondering if anyone on here with ford interior know how can help me. Both of the car seat levers have broke and we are unable to lift the seats forward now to allow passengers in. I have spoke to a couple of small garages one told me to take it to ford to sort and the other I'm awaiting them to get back to me. I understand the seat needs taking out to fix but I don't want to go to main dealer if I can help it and pay a fortune to get it fixed as we are selling it within the coming weeks anyway. Any help and advice much appreciated as I don't want to be ripped off but have no clue when it comes
To these things! Thank you

Had these fail on my brothers car, it's a real bugger of a job as it's quite hard to access to clips inside. IIRC I don't think the seats need to come out though. For an older car I'd try and avoid a main dealer, best continuing to try and find an independent who will do it. Even though it's a fiddly job I don't think it's a massively expensive one.
