mk3anni 0 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 LOLmine does this now and then, give the outside handle a shove todwards the door, don't bend the door skin though!!!!You did bend the rods didn't you?? Link to post Share on other sites

antera309 3 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 The rods that engage into the backs of the handles do need to be bent a little bit. I'm taking one of my door cards off this weekend to adjust my windows, so I'll see if I can get you some photos. Link to post Share on other sites
pimpcat 0 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Try and grease the lock Link to post Share on other sites
mk3anni 0 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 When you fit polo handles you need to put 2 45 degree bends in rod that actuates the lock in order to move the rod closer to the door skin. IF you don't do this the rod cannot return back to its rest position and the door won't unlock from either side.Theres a funny thought, you could both get locked in!!!! Always the windows I guess!!!
