carrots 1 Posted April 4, 2012 hi my drivers door handle is broke,its not the normal part that breaks.when you pull the handle it is pulling away from the door in the middle of the handle where it fits into a plastic clip thats attached to the door.it wont clip into the plastic bit in the door because one of the metal bits on the handle has broke off.can anyone make any sense of what i mean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted April 4, 2012 Doesn't sound good if there is a metal piece broken off the handle, can you post a pic? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daves16v 1 Posted April 4, 2012 I think you'll have to change the whole handle, if you can get a pic when you get the car back that will help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P3rks 11 Posted April 5, 2012 Exactly the same happened to mine. The metal has fatigued on the actual handle frame and not on the more common push rod mechanism. It's dead. Caput. Gameover. :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
