Title: Door handle
Post by: jonesltd on 23 December 2010, 08:38

I tried opening my rear passenger door today and took a few attempts and now my handle has become unalined? It opens the door as usual but then handle is meant to go back into a neat line but sticks out. Can I buy a new handle or does that need a new door? Even when the door is closed again it doesnt line up (sticks out)

Common.... Needs replacement inner handle unit, requires door strip down for fitment. Plastic breaks off when stiff/pulled hard.
