My driver's side seat release lever escutcheon is pretty much shot. I have found a few on line but people are asking around $100 for the things. I'm thinking this is something that can be made on those new fangled 3D printers. However, in order to take it off I have to get the lever knob off. I'm not seeing any pin or other device to keep the knob on. Can I just pull it off from the lever?

 

If I recall, lift the release and in the bottom, center, there is a metal tab that needs depressed while pulling the lever off

 

I fixed mine sometime ago. I’m pretty sure you’re right.

They print in correct colors. Kinda stuck with tariffs now though.

Here's the part - it's even on sale!

Thanks guys. I'll have to take a look on Friday, we've got a houseful coming over tomorrow for turkey and rib roast and all the fixins.

 

Wow!! can't beat that, I think. I'll have to figure out pounds to dollars but I think it's a really good deal. Thank you Mike

 

Their stuff is first-class, and the colour match on parts I've bought is perfect.

 

Here's what I found under the knob:




Are you talking about those 2 silver colored things just in front of where my fingers are?

 

looks a bit different than mine but I will check tomorrow and let you know

 

Thank you Steve.
