    Default Disassembling power front seats on E36 coupe with safety catch lever

    I broke the safety catch lever on a friend's E36, so if anyone has advice on procedure for replacing...

    Perhaps the 3 Series Bentley book has some guidance, but I don't have access to it.

    Its the lever (on the coupe) higher up on the side of the seat that you lift in order to pull the seat-back forward thus enabling you to enter the rear seat area.
