Hi all.
Went to use my van today and when I tried to open the rear doors i felt the handle come loose...Argh!
I have now had to climb in the front and remove the full height dog guard, which is fairly awkward with the front seats in the way. After doing this I got to the door and it opened fine from inside. I have now removed the ply board and plastic liner from the inside of the door and discovered that the bolt that goes from the handle to the cable is no longer attatched. On attampting to fix this the stupid little blue plastic clip that holds the bolt in place has snapped...Argh again!
So I have rigged it with a cable tie and a boot lace at the moment.
Does anyone have any ideas on a quick fix or do I just need to fiddle about and get a new blue clippy thingy in there!?!?!
Any help would be appreciated.
