boost69 Donating Members 737 Member For: 19y 6m 11d Posted 23/06/15 08:53 AM Share Posted 23/06/15 08:53 AM Guys,Had to replace my drivers side mirror as someone hit it while my car was parked.I pulled off some of the drivers door trim including the two bolts that are located in the grab handle, in order to get to the lower screw that holds the mirror.When I went to do up the grab handle bolts I noticed when they were tightened the grab handle has allot of play in it and is not sitting flush on the door trim.It looks like the grab handle has come away form the rest of the door trim...anyone experienced this before?...possibly while changing the actuator?

You will need to obtain another door skin (trim level doesn't matter only series). The handle is secured by 5 plastic spot welds and the two screws that secure the trim to the door through the handle.Use a small drill/dremel to cut the plastic welds and some gentle persueding (plastics trim removal levers work well) the handle will pop free. You then need to drill the centre of the spot weld stems for the self taping screws. Refit the handle and secure it with self taping screws. You should be able to pull it up tight to the door trim with the screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
