I’m helping SB914 get his passenger door handle to work. The interior pull works fine; the exterior pull will not work unless I push in on the door first.
Took the handle out; it’s ok There’s not a lot of adjustment for the mechanism and i’m Trying to not remove it. Anyone else had this problem ? Attached image(s)

I have always considered the 914 door handles to be a week link in the chain. Keeping in mind this was an "entry level" Porsche with a lot of VW parts. I'm not sure what adjustments can be done. This isn't a problem I have experienced. The only advice I can give as far as door handle parts would be to take some time and clean them up good, then make sure everything is lubricated well. I do this once a year just as a preventive measure.
Cheers, Elliot |
