Broken handle on the release latch for back seat 200

Hey all;

The handle broke on my 89 wagon the release lever that lets me fold the rear seat ahead to make more space in the rear of the wagon.
It was a cold winter morning and i guess the frost combined with age made it snap right off.
Can someone tell me how to replace this handle? And I'd like to know where to get one. I live in southern ontario, (1 hr from Kitchener)

    After you fix it keep the latches on the outside of the seats well lubricated. This will reduce the amount of force required to release the seat.

    Hello- I just picked up a 92 wagon with this problem. It looks as though you can remove the back seat (very easy remember to unzip the bottom corners to get to the spring loaded pins) and pull up the back to see the latch. I here the latch is a little tricky so I chose to find a replacement seat from a junk yard. I replaced the back seat for $15. Of course you have to find that seat.
