Replying to: mcaknupp (Jul 12, 2006 7:35 am) Dealer has them in stock or look online at rockauto or gmpartsdirect. Easy repair after you remove the 4 seat bolts and then the few seatcover clips.

You can get an aftermarket handle that attaches permanently to the broken stub at: http://www.wittydeals.com/product_info.php?products_id=29

Replying to: mcaknupp (Jul 12, 2006 7:35 am) Yes, both of my seats in my 99 Jimmy have missing handles because of the same issue. Replies to this message: frekeyguy (Oct 26, 2007 7:30 am)

Replying to: mkob (Mar 13, 2007 8:48 am) I bought this about 2 1/2 years ago, and it fixed it.   Its easy to install, its a screw that goes in the hollow shaft, its cheap and quick.   http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-99-00-SEAT-RELEASE-HANDLES-GMC-BLAZER-JIMMY-BR- AVADA_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33701QQihZ004QQitemZ140171991695QQrdZ1QQsspagen- ameZWDVW

Replying to: mcaknupp (Jul 12, 2006 7:35 am) Both levers broke off in my 99 Jimmy. The remaining stub on the driver's side split in two pieces so the aftermarket handle won't work. Has anyone replaced the reclining mechanism? I see there are plastic clips connecting the upholstery to a bar. How do you remove the lumbar support knob? Any help would be appreciated.
