Earwig 89 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I think they are just a straight fit replacing the originals.Only thing you might have to do is bend the rods inside the door to mate up with the handles ;-)Mark. Link to post Share on other sites
speed_freak 0 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 cheers for that what is the rods for that you avto bend is there just a couple of nuts hold them on ? Link to post Share on other sites
gav_113 0 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 just take the door card off, look up where the handle goes and u will see.. take sum pliers and bend the rod so the handle fully closes. easy.. Link to post Share on other sites
Earwig 89 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 ^^What he said :-)Never done it myself as I have MK3 rear door handles. But Polo jobs are just as easy to fit :-)Mark. Link to post Share on other sites

gav_113 0 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 i didnt bend mine when i first fitted them as they worked fine, BUT!! a few weeks later i went to open the door and it wouldnt!! it was a night mare, i had to remove door card with the door closed, and mess around with it for ages to open the door, think i ended up hitting the handle really hard to open it?? thats when someone said have u bent the rods, and i said i didnt have to......

binliner 0 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 the ones I fitted have been on for over a year with no probs... obviously that isnt the norm though Link to post Share on other sites

gav_113 0 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 i did hear once that it depends on the yr of the car? maybe the rods are different?? when u fit them just make sure the handle fully releases and it should b ok.. Link to post Share on other sites
Focker-out 0 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Justin take them off and bend the rods!!!! I didnt, and my pass door refused to open, not a pleasant job removing a leather door card with the door shut!! Link to post Share on other sites
