Exterior Door Handle "Loose"

[ray_vr6 1]

Hi

Recently fitted two new door handles and the drivers one is not fitting snugly against the outer door skin i.e. when I use the handle there is a slight amount of play when I pull on it. It has the gasket fitted and the securing screw is tightened ok

Anyone had a similar problem?

Thanks In advance

You got both the black gasket and the C shape white one fitted?

Hi

Don't recall seeing any C shaped white gasket when I removed the old handles. Where abouts does it get positioned?

Cheers

I have just had to repair my nearside door handle ( the usual problem ) using Daves16v's repair kit - excellent wee kit, btw :)

 

Got it all back together and installed in the door, then found that white clip ! Is it supposed to clip in to where its shown in shaung60's picture ?? It just seems to rest there, not located by anything :(

Worked it out - the white 'clip' fits inside the aperture in the door and the handle locates into it. Shimples :)

My drivers side is a bit wobbily that clip must be missing on that side as it has been off before will get one from VW cheers

 

Whats it called?? clip??

Its referred to as a clamp - and the part number above is correct. Most likely in stock at the dealers.

I bought some from the dealer a couple of weeks ago so should be good for stock.
