I recently purchased the 914 Rubber RS Inner Door Handle kit (https://914rubber.com/rs-inner-door-handle-kit). The black pull handles seem straight forward but I'm having trouble figuring out where and how to attach the red nylon straps for the door release. Do these attach at the original chrome door release location? I don't see how these can work with the stock door catch rod and handle/lock system.

I installed the door release strap as suggested in the previous post and inserted the plastic cover into a mock-up door card to test for fit and function. I really like the look of the red nylon pull strap but gotta say that I'm not satisfied with the functionality. It takes considerable effort to pull the strap to open the door, to the point that I'm afraid the entire door card/panel could be accidentally torn off the door when trying to open it from the inside. Is this the same experience others have with this system?
Just to be clear, I'm not criticizing the quality or design of the 914Rubber parts. I just think the geometry and mechanics of the stock 914 handle mechanism is not designed to accommodate this type of system. |
