Title: Door handle blank falls out!
Post by: Spadds on December 26, 2014, 05:06:53 pm
Hi

As above really. The rear drivers side rear door handle blank is loose. I did try the T25 screw on the side of the door (behind the sticker) but this is for the lock only. I then gave the blank a little wiggle and it fell out with ease.

I've stuffed it back in and it's just resting there as I can't fix it down. It will fly out soon so I may just take it out.

Any help on how this should be secured is welcomed!!!

You'll see the item which holds the cover in place,this needs to be set in the correct position to allow the cover to retained when the locking screw is tightened up.
