So my interior door handle works fine with the panel off. But as soon as i put the panel back on it wont open the door. Exterior handle is fine. Drivin me nutz...what am i missing?
I recently tore down and "rebuilt" two doors to clean and refurb latches and interior and exterior door handles and I'm finishing up another on the other 914.
1. You may need to adjust the striker plate to allow for the thickness of the panel.
2. Make sure the rod between the inner handle/lock lever and the latch are secure at both ends and both black guides are in their holes between the locks. Without those, the rod will bow outward to the back of the panel; especially if the latch itself is gummed up. I had them easily operating with fingertip control in a sink prior to install.
