AWR-fix: Door Handle Carrier Repair: 28¢
https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/top...ink_source=app

You can post questions there when underway. I usually see the posts within minutes.

I've done this repair half a dozen times reworking to the final version in the thread above. If you can't get metal cable ties I used 16ga steel wire the first couple repairs. It needs a shim under the wrap either way and either way is quite literally better than new (non brittle weak link). Brand new will not be stronger.
Andrew yes exactly what meant, and since post.found pics to verify my suspicion ...never taken it apart so.didnt know where how allen key bolt secured carrier...pic shows it screws through carrirer handle and into the outer side into the door lock casing as such...the shim idea great fine...just curious though that it will actally allow movement of the mechanism as the shim n wire or wire tie take place of broken bit of carrier that didnt acutally have a really tight fit onto the rod ....you reckom best bet i order a new part? Or tie fix removed broken carrier i have floating about..cheers again for reply

Ps how much clearance is needed , i mean repair may protrude by how much from.surface of carrier before ot snags or brushes again inner door workings?
