I was opening my passenger side door to let my wife in and heard a clunk and now it won't open from the outside.
It still opens from the inside. What part do I need to fix it? Don't want to buy all kinds of things that don't need replaced...although I might do the same fix on the driver's door just in case. Thanks! Nathan |

hard to say what broke. you'll have to take the inside panel off, disassemble and take a look. i'd guess the plastic slider broke.
here's a pic: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...9&hl=handle from a previous thread: QUOTE i just finished fixing my door handles and mechanisms. basically i needed to dis-assemble them and get to know 'em. i found the mechanisms dirty and most importantly bent and mis-shapen in important places. once i cleaned and tweeked the mechanisms (it took several tries each, including mounting trying, unmounting, etc) they work great. just get in there and work it out, you'll be happy you did. paul |
