i put a new handle on my car, but it still won't open the door. i can reach in (without the handle) and pop the door fairly easily but i don't want to force it. what else do i need to do? |

You bought another 914? Group: Benefactors Posts: 7,622 Joined: 27-June 03 From: Portage, IN Member No.: 865 Region Association: None

Mike, Back when I had my 73 914 the mounting screw broke off the driver side handle. I took the handle off and drilled out where the mounting screw went and I think I used either a 10mm or maybe it was a 8 mm bolt about 3/4 inch long. Put the handle back on with lock washer and nut and every was fine. You couldn't tell unless you were looking for it. YMMV |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) If only the screw (stud actually) is broken off, just drill through it and put a bolt in it. Paul |

If the outside retainer tab is broken I am right to assume the unit is terminal? JB Weld crossed my mind but my mind has been simpled out lately. If terminal do I just go to all the usual suspects? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Take a picture of it or send it to me and I'll let you know what it will take to fix it.
