jonvr6highline 0 Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Sounds like could be the rods not in lining up properly.Thats a mod I've been thinking of doing.Talking of rear door handles, I've been watching these on ebay.Do you think he's got a mate to bump up the price? http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=4633910892 Link to post Share on other sites

dub_junky 0 Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I was the one who was bidding on those handles I was going up to the maximum I wanted to pay as I only wanted the n/s one but it aint going to cost much more than that from VW so I stopped bidding Link to post Share on other sites

dub_junky 0 Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Have you had the door cards off and looked inside the door at the catch mechanism? I have looked at handles fom the scrappy and all the ones I've come across have been really faded hence why I haven't bought any yet. Link to post Share on other sites

You were basically outbidding yourself.If all you can find is faded handles, you could always respray black, or colour code them. They'd probably be cheaper if they looked cr*p because they were faded, rather looking good condition. Just an idea!Jon Link to post Share on other sites

dub_junky 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I was the second bidder on the handles as some one had bid before me so I was going up in small amounts to try get them cheap as I could but I reached my limit so I stopped bidding as getting carrried away has cost me alot in the past. I'm thinking of just hanging fire till winter when I won't be running my car and switching to Audi A3 handles if anyone knows of any problems with doing this let me know.
