Hi,

Anyone had problems with there rear door handle?

Both mine have snapped, the end cap has broken away in the same place around the screw mount.
They don’t get any heavy handed use, if fact very little use at all.

The first one I just glued back on as I thought it was just a one off, and a distance to my dealer, and assume rip all the inner door cards off to fix.

If both snapped, why not use the warranty? That's what it's there for. I wouldn't have hesitated to have the 1st break seen to straight away.

I'd def be getting it looked at/replaced under warranty.

As you say it's some distance to dealers, ring them first and tell them you will be emailing photo's. Then they can get parts in, arrange visit and get it done while you wait.

Is there no other dealer a bit closer as you don't have to go back to the dealer you bought from.

Keep us informed as to how you get on.

PS can you post a picture of the full door so I can see it in full. Cheers

I agree with shambles and eye30 take them into the dealer as they are faulty and should NOT break like that, they are obviously inferior and not fit for the purpose.
