Broken seat switch cover.

Is this as simple as purchasing a new right seat switch cover? Also it seems like only forward and rear movements work while incline and decline don't work. I'm considering purchasing a new cover and seat control switch? Can someone tell me if this is fixable?

What makes you think it's the seat switch and not the motor?

I honestly wasn't sure. I assumed it could of been either since only forward and backward movements work and angle adjustment doesn't. Also want sure if the seat control cover was replaceable bc the clips are torn

As long as the piece it plugs into is fine, I don't see why the cover isn't replaceable. But as for the matter of the control or the motor, you'd have to test that. You could take the control out of your existing seat and plug it into another seat and see if it works, but you'd need someone with an F30 with the time to test that with you. Similarly they could try providing you with a motor from their seat to test if it's your motor that's the issue. Don't know any easier way.. Have you considered just replacing the seat from a wreck/salvage shop?
