I have a little tech tip for you guys with broken seat recline handles. I
had about four of them break and the sharp edge that it leaves gouges the
skin in your wrist as your knuckle crashes into the rear shelf of the car.
I replaced my broken seat back handles with interior door handles. Shorter
and more difficult to use due to less leverage, but I haven't broken one in
ten years since I switched to them. Far easier to find as spares also. I
have several if you can't dig up a pair.
