Fitting outer door handles mkiv spit

[LouisW]

Long story short, I removed the outer door handles a while ago and prepped and primed the doors adding new gaskets but cannot for the life of me remember how the handles stayed secured in the door. They're plumbed in and work just if I pull on them the whole assembly nearly comes out of the door.

I know there are two nuts inside that I remember loosening but don't know how they go to secure it in the door.

Thanks,
Louis.

There is an internal 'bracket' to which sits inside the door, with the outer handle bolted through it. It holds the door skin in a sandwich and holds the handle onto the door..

That's it! It's a U shaped bracket isn't it!

I recall this dropping down into the door before and thinking to myself "atleast it wont get lost there"  ;D

Thanks alot, I'll dig that out tomorrow. Can't believe I forgot about that. Cheers brendan.

You’ll be amazed at the other things usually found in there too… :) The question will be “how on earth did THAT get THERE?"
