Dorman - HELP Seat Back Recliner Adjustment Handle P/N:74349
Get a solid grip on seat back adjustment again with the Dorman - HELP Seat Back Recliner Adjustment Handle / Seat Release Handle Kit, part number 77199, an OE FIX redesign with thicker metal at the lever point where original handles often strip. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1998-2005 Chevrolet Blazer, 1998-2005 GMC Jimmy and 1998-2004 Chevrolet S10, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications in the front right and front left positions. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full vehicle list and engine details.
The original equipment handle often strips because the material is weak at the lever point. Dorman reworked the design to add strength and durability where the factory part tends to give out. The part is cataloged as a seat back recliner adjustment handle, and Dorman describes it as a seat release handle kit, so it is listed under both names.
Position: front right and front left.
