Problems with passenger interior door handle

[BigTartanJudge 0]

Hey all,

 

I am having issues with my passenger interior door handle. Suddenly, it has decided that the door will only open from the outside and not inside where the handle feels ok but only moves kninda half-way out when you pull it to open the door from inside the car.

 

Has anyone else expereiced this as it's kinda annoying having to get out of car to let passengers out ! Any ideas on what the problem is ? Don't think it's an outer door handle issue as it feels fine and works perfect from the outside.

 

Cheers,

Makes a change from not being able to open from the outside.

 

I would suggest removing the door card and having a look see what's wrong.

A metal bar comes from the door lock to that wonderful PLASTIC handle. Possibility that the bar has come off one end or that the plastic handle clip has broken.

 

Another is that the whole plastic handle (handle/cup bit) has slipped in the door card. IIRC it has to be pushed forward hard into the door card. If its not fully home it won't open the door - had this on mine.
