Door handle has become loose.

[vma99r]

Hello, can any body help with this one?
My drivers door handle outer cover has become loose, it rattles about and I cant see how it is clipped into place, there are two locating slots at the bottom but I cant see how to remove it without taking the whole lock out.
Any ideas? Thanks Pete.

Thanks Kite,
All done, easy when you know how, I can never seem to find the good posts when I search.
Thanks again all, Pete.

Hi there
do you know if this is the same on a 2002 A6?
Also how did you get the outer trim off, the body coloured part?

Thanks

I imagine it would be the same on the A6 as I'm pretty sure they use similar handles, so they should be held on using a similar clip.

When I fixed mine, I decided just to push the clip into place. Once the clip is back in place, the door handle will probably stay put for years to come, no need to add an adhesive (unless it quickly starts to work loose again).
