Hey guys, time to fix one of my door handles. The plastic cam broke. I'll probably pull the passenger side and clean the inner mechanism and replace the cam on that side too just to be safe.
I've got the driver side all cleaned and lubed up in the door, but cannot figure out how to get the plastic cam off to replace it. The handle doesn't open enough to let it slide out so do I need to drill the rivet and replace it with a shoulder bolt or something? PS I did try to read through some of the other threads about door handles but haven't found anything specifically regarding this yet. |

I just did this with the 914rubber piece - it was really easy. I simply destroyed (cut) the old broken part in a way that made the remaining pieces fall out. Mine was already busted into 3 pieces, one down inside the door at that point.
The painful part of this job is the access to and R&R of the handle itself. On my (race)car, the custom aluminum door panels are riveted-on, which made this task fabulously fun. |
