Passenger seat tilt/slide handle cable broken

[wisejason]

Has anyone had this happen or fixed the problem?

The passenger seat tilt/slide handle has stopped working; feels like the connecting cable has broken. Before it broke the seat made a noise when sliding forward as if catching on the rail teeth - almost like the cable or hook/rod had stretched. The car is on a 59 plate and my wife is the second owner so there is no warranty cover.

Happy to fix myself just looking for some info before I start.

I bought the seats used and fitted them to my car. That handle and a little piece of metal have broken but it still works. At the slidind I have also some problems. To check it get the seat out of the car to have a better view!
