Default Door handle repair

Anyone know a way to fix this or do they sell this piece separately? Installed new trigger and noticed this.

This?

Hard to tell and I haven't had my handles off in a while. On mine, the handle casting itself broke off at a pivot point so it wasn't salvageable.

Not the best picture, but if the tabs in your circled area are not fully there, the only option is another handle.

Hey sp1990, I’ve dealt with many a door handle issue and no, you do not need a new door handle. You need a new door lock linkage, easily ordered from Pelican parts.

part #944-537-261-02-M100

They’re very reasonably priced and not too hard to install. I recommend taking the broken part off that’s still likely connected to your car inside the door slot and adjust the new linkage to the same length by counting the threads that meet the little ball on the door lock. You’ll see what I mean and if you don’t, let us know. Also a good idea to replace the door hinge pin that holds the linkage to the door handle but don’t have to. I once had an issue where the reused pin kept popping out of place.

I really wish someone manufactured these from cnc milled stainless. The cast zinc material is garbage!

On my 951 I installed plastic VW handles, because to me, ABS plastic is superior to cheap crappy pot metal. And the guide tab is actually a steel insert anyway, so win/win.
