Drivers side door handle

Post by gilly » Sun Sep 28, 2014 8:39 pm

Hi all
Have just noticed this is a little loose & can move about, not massive amounts but enough to rattle. There are 2 clips under it but they seem solid enough, is there anything I can do to ensure it stays in place & to minimize any rattling noises?

There was a thread on this a few months ago, can't find it though. You can remove the outer handle cover, bend the metal clips a little and refit the cover. Did it to mine after reading the thread

Hard to explain but you can poke a small flathead (very small) in the gap when the handle is held up and push along the metal clip. If facing the drivers door then push it from left side to right, you can see the clip looking down when the handle is up.

It was me who did the thread recently.

I was going to do a 'how to' with pictures but haven't bothered putting it together as a particular forum member pi$$ed me off.
