The seat back adjustment lever broke on my 2005 Ford Explorer. Instead of ordering a replacement, I found a design on Thingiverse
The problem
The lever to adjust the back of the driver’s side seat on my 2005 Ford Explorer broke. I rarely adjust the seat but I did want it to work if necessary. I found I could purchase a replacement for about 20 dollars or so.
Print it
After a little bit of digging, I found that someone had created a design for exactly what I needed on Thingiverse. I printed it using pla filament.
Results
It works perfectly. It does seem slightly less substantial than the original. The solution was simple. I printed another lever and threw that in the glove box.
This was for the driver’s side front seat. I suppose it could be reversed for the passenger side.
