Default seat release lever

I have a broken seat release lever on the passenger seat. The lever that's located on the upper back side of the seat back, which allows seat to fold forward. 2002 convertible.

Need to repair or replace the lever. Is it part of an entire seat back assembly or can I just replace the lever?

Thanks for any feedback!

Check the for sale section I saw a guy sellin ghtem for $5 yesterday and they were still available. I can't remember the title but the guy had about 10 interior things for sale. It might have been "Black Interior Pieces For Sale" if my memory is good.

how did you order just the lever? when I go to their website, I only see the entire seat back frame assembly.

I called Gene and asked if it was a separate part... it was and he ordered it.

I have the same problem. I bought the replacement part a year ago. I just have not removed the seat and took it all apart to repair!
