Seat tilt handle replacement

Nov 18, 2024

My son's 2012 Ibiza passenger side tilt handle came off, I have bought a replacement but can't seem to fit it! It looks like it should be easy which is making it more frustrating!

I put the clip in the hanle and pushed but it hasn't "locked" and the clip is now buried inside the handle (see picture)

I think the previous owner may have glued handle so potentially there's remnants of that which is stopping the new one fitting and caused the clip to "lock"? Or am I being really stupid??

Pictures attached of handle including looking down it to the clip.

Thanks
Paul.
