Hi all,

im having issues with my drivers door, the quick link posted by JimC64 helped, but the real issue is where the pin, that goes from the mech to the handle, meets the handle. I believe I need to remove the handle to re attach the pin. there is also a metal box section initially covering this pin, which wasnt in the quick help.

Can i remove the handle?
And do i need to replace this ''box'' section, or can i rip it out totally, to ease future handle issues?

I have a 2002 2.5 sport if that helps

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Forgot to add, I believe i have located the two torq screws for the handle. 1 accessable, and the other behind the window mech.

 

So the issue is you cannot open the door using the outside door handle? Am I understanding correctly?

Have you taken off the door panel and looked at the connecting rod? If you pull up on the outside door handle the rod will also move. If this is the case you can follow my how-to in the FAQ section. I just added it yesterday.

If you pull up on the handle and the rod does not move then you will have to pop out the outside door handle.

 

yes i am needing to take off/pop the door handle. but the barrell is obstruncting it, otherwise it would be off, do you know anything of barrell removal

regards
