Hey everybody -

I am busy this weekend fixing little annoyances on my 2007 xk. I just found out that my passenger seat, chrome reclining lever [near the headrest] is snapped off. The mechanism still works though. I found this link for the part: https://www.parts.com/index.cfm?fuse...-RECLINE-LEVER

Question: Is this an easy swap out? Or am i looking are tearing into the seat?

It is number 16 on the exploded diagram.

As always - your input is very much appreciated.

 

It's easy and just one screw. Mine broke and I've been meaning to replace it. I think the price is around $40USD

 

michaelodonnell123,

Did you order this part? My driver's side broke and I'm trying to order a replacement but they are listed as Right side and Left side. You posted a Right side part for passenger seat (US). Was this correct? I'm assuming I need a Left side...

thanks for the clarification

 

Yes you will need the left side [drivers side]. It took me about 10 minutes to install the new one.

 

Thanks!.... kind of obvious but figured I'd just make sure before I ordered it... Yep, I got the old one off already.

A little surprised it's plastic though. Would have thought any lever part would be metal....

 

Everthying is built to a price. This is the part you need: #C2P6559: Jaguar. Recline lever. Seat Back Recliner Adjustment Handle.

You might be able to find it elsewhere cheaper.

My part >right side [passenger side was]: JAGUAR OEM 07-15 XKR Front Seat-Recline Lever Right C2P6558 ]

 

Got one off Ebay for $39, free shipping. Thanks!!

 

My passenger side one was broken off, the mechanism worked but the latch part was broken and left in the glove box. I didn't buy a new one , got some quick drying silicone adhesive and put a bit on the latch , and on the mechanism but not the part that move, pushed on a left for a few hours, works perfect since, never know it was broken.

 

Damn it mine just snapped off thanks kids

 

Same came off mine, just do as i posted above and it will work fine

 

I glued mine with Gorilla gel glue and it seemed nice and strong but when I put the screw back in it broke off again. Got to try that quick drying silicone adhesive you speak of some day.....

 

Weird i didn't even need to use the screw, the silicone i used was similar to the stuff for sticking in windscreens its call tec7 here

 

Jaguar of Las Vegas are doing them for around $40 whilst I'm at it I might order the chrome strips than go on the key fob
