Boot handle replacement

[richw911]

New lock now fitted along with the handle  A new lock is £42.88 from TPS and comes with new barrel and everything needed its part number 1J6827297G 

I painted both sides of the handle and used lots of copper grease (I had an aerosol can made it easy to spray in) when re fitting parts to stop it happening again, the new handle comes with a new gasket so it should be all water tight again.

The old handle was so corroded it fell apart with a little tap

Good job mate ! Sharan badges look so much better on dark cars cause the recess dont stand out as much !
