Description

This is a replacement rear seat fold-down handle for an E120 (~2002-2007 depending on where you live) Toyota Corolla hatchback. It's the small handle you use to release the rear seats so they can fold down and expand the boot/trunk size.

I designed this for a friend who had lost the handle on the right (driver) side and was having trouble operating the small metal lever the handle clips on to.

The part is a direct push-fit replacement, just print the part as directed then push it onto the metal lever till you hear/feel a slight click. It should then be locked pretty firmly in place and can be used to operate the rear seat release.

Feedback and remixes are welcome.

Pricing assumptions and exclusions

USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.

Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.

Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
