On my 07 , the rear seat lever which allows 3rd row access just broke like a piece of cookie. Does anyone know what part number it is please ?

This happened to our '07 over the weekend... with the super-human strength of my 12 y.o. Any luck with part numbers and tear-down directions???

Search for some threads on here. I had the same thing happen about a year ago and found a number of threads on here about it. But it was pretty easy, overall, once you release the clip. Maybe 5 minutes? Your dealer will know what to get you just by the description, if you want to go that route. If not, look for those threads or look it up on an online parts website.

Thanks for the reply. I tried a couple searches, and this is the only thread I could come up with:
https://mbworld.org/forums/search.php?searchid=22655110
The rest didn't seem to be pertinent. Any further suggestions?
Thanks!

The link you provided doesn't work. Maybe it wasn't this forum that I searched and just did a google/youtube search? Either way, I know I found information easily. If I remember correctly, you flip the seat up for better access and pull out a pin/clip. I mentioned it taking 5 minutes above... if I had to to do it again, it's probably 30 seconds.

Sorry, it was a search here, and this thread was the only pertinent one that showed up. i didn't cast a wider net yet!

Thanks for the lead! I just bought one on ebay for $20, should arrive in a day or so!

And here are a couple of videos on youtube:



So yeah, looks super easy... just had to work up the motivation to get in there!

What I meant was... I tried to look at the link you provided to check the information in it for you, but the link didn't work. And, "google/youtube", I meant that maybe that was where I originally found the info, not on this forum. But, either way, sounds like you found the info and the videos you linked are, obviously, how to do it. Good find - as I don't recall finding videos when I searched.

Success! The replacement part came in a few days ago, and I got to it today. I used a large screwdriver to pry the old stub off, then I just pushed the new lever back on. Nothing to it!
