Front Seats adjustment handle broke

[plumber5]

Hi 2018 Wrangler sport JL I cannot get front to come forward to get in back seat and One handle broke trying. Tried to order 2 handles and cables but out of stock supply chain problem. Any hints of way to fix or adjust and maybe I am doing something wrong.

So just throwing this out there..... This is a known issue with shoulder release and the slide mechanism that allows the seat to slide forward in the tracks. There are a few posts on this site if you google it the results will take you back here to the posts. There is one guy who figured out that laying a 3/8" wratchet extension in the track will bypass the broken mechanism and another who used vice grips to pull the wire in the shoulder pull to release. I had read both and decided to purchase the track pieces last year 4 per seat (they are specific to passenger/driver) in case it happens. I will include a pic that I saved from that post showing the piece I'm referring to and where it gets placed.
