Does any one know where I can get the “reclining knob” for the driver’s seat for my 1990 Talon? The manual calls the “reclining knob” the plastic handle that pivots the front seat-back forward to allow access to the back seat. Has anyone ever broken this handle? It seems kind of flimsy but maybe after 23 years plastic can deteriorate. Thanks,

Reclining knob...really? Lets keep this P.G. shall we!
Seriously though, all the plastic down there is all pretty flimsy. I broke off my forward back one on my 2g first time I used it. I don't think the engineers were really thinking about us talking about that part on a forum 23 years later! Just wait for someone to have a part-out and grab it!
In the mean time can you wrap it with a piece of painters tape or something?

I found a guy on Ebay that dismantles DSMs and sells their parts. I got the knob for only $12. I think that was a good deal considering that I did not trek through muddy salvage yards to find parts.

Same, I've dealt MANY times with him. Great guy to deal with. He's on ebay as well (easier to search for parts). Shipping is the only issue from him, since the price hike from the post, it ain't cheap
