[Help] Door handle broken (?) URGENT!
So I was taking apart the car for a wrap and removed the driver's door handle. After putting it back together, I noticed that the handle only pulls straight out and has no rebound/tension (does not open the door).
This is the handle from the outside. It just stays pulled out after tugging on it. Has anybody had experience with this and if so, how did you fix it. Thanks! |

I suggest you take apart the other sides handle, see what it has that your busted side does not have - and order one of those. OR, look around closer on the garage floor - hint, it will be further away than you would think it would be - OR go to https://demos.starbase7.net/t3Portal..._rm_index.html (see the reassemble part for the front door handle) humfrz Last edited by humfrz; 03-18-2019 at 02:29 AM. |

You done now ducked yourself boy.
Lol aside..... Two possible problems, you drop the spring, or forgot to fully replace everything. Time for some YouTube research.

My guess is the linkage detached as you stuffed it back in which is why it isn't being pulled back in and also why it isn't actually opening the door.

In order to remove the door panel the pull cord for the door handle has to be removed. The hammer end slides up. Remove the door panel and make sure the door latch is correct. Compare to the other side for reference.

Make sure you’re getting that “hook” on the bottom left behind the latch. Sometimes you have to pull the part in the door out a bit before sliding the handle in. Never had a Toyota/Subaru handle off but they’re all the same. The pic below is an FRS handle.

Seems like the latch was not able to hook on after repeated attempts. However, the latch is still present, so I am sure it is not broken. I will try to reassemble the handle once again. Hopefully, it works this time while pulling the part in the door!
