I've got handles for sale in classifieds $5/ea. let me know if you need 'em.

Does anyone have pics of door linkage they can post?

I have issues wiht my handles, wondering if action on the linkage may alleviate things?

 

[Trollhole]

all handles look the same. Not to undercut anyone but these were given to me by a pig fan for us to use for free. As long as they go to someone in need I'll ship what you need out. You just pay for my shipping. PM me if you need one.

Troll or John,

Can you show me what the inside of the handle looks like? My pass side handle sticks open when it gets cold. I'd like to fix this!

TJS,
you need to take the handle off, there are some screws behind the rubber gasket in trollholes pic, and pull out the button. there is a thin and VERY fragile plastic ring that gets gummed up. clean it up with some brake cleaner, use a bit of white lithium grease and re-install. they will work great after that. the dried up grease and years of road grime buildup is what is causing them to get hung up.

Thanks for the tip. I have this exact issue but never realized what was causing it.

You guys are great - gratitude...

So can anyone show me what the inside linkage looks like?

My DS door handle has a LOT of play before it engages. Sometimes it fails to open the door, I have to open from inside. I am hoping I can bend something in the linkage to fix this?

 

[Trollhole]

I'm not sure what part you are talking about.

 

[cruiserbrett]

all the ones I have were split, as in one cut? or break or more as well. None were a unbroken ring.

I put one back together without any ring. It functions fine, just that the button is a little loose compared to the others...

Might be a part number I should run through mr Toyota

My largest concern is having it rattle on me.

Last thing I want going on in my rig is rattles galore

the spring pressure pushing the button against the handle keeps it from rattling pretty well.

That is one of those things like the plastic clips that anchor the headliner (the L shaped ones particularly) that seems like would be a good injection mold project. ????

I think I have captured on film the elusive plastic ring that is rumored to exist...

Thanks to you guys, I fixed my passenger side front door handle from sticking.

It was a real pain in the a$$ when you couldn't lock your door(s) b/c the handle was sticking...

Thanks!
