Ford Ka - Fixing a broken outside door handle (handle will not open door)
Basically the plastic handle is attached to the lock mechanism via a metal rod, the plastic linkage on the back of the door handle gets broken and can no longer open the door. I was quoted £120 to fix this at the dealers, so thought I would have a go myself. Some people had written guides about removing the door trim, but nobody had actually done a guide about fixing the door handle problem start to finish.
Tools Required
Screwdriver (philips star and flat heads)
Drill (4 / 4.5 mm metalwork drill bit)
Stanley Knife
2x 4mm rivets and a rivet gun (or self tapping screws)
silicone sealant (optional)
Step 1 : Remove door card and skin
Pop out electric window control with a flat screwdriver and disconnect from cable. Removed screw now visible in the hole.
