P15 REPLACEMENT DOOR HANDLES

[Seaside Pete]

Hi Guys.

 

I have just purchased some replacement exterior door handles for my P15 4Door. Does anyone know if you can swap them by just unscrewing the 2 screws on the outside, pulling out the old handles and re screwing the replacements in? It sounds too simple, or do you have to take all the trim off etc.

 

Thanks

2 screws. It's way too easy.

If your interior is still OEM you will have a third screw from the inside. I think that one got left off frequently as people repaired things.

the one Ed is referring to is a shouldered screw for the door card  (door card is the interior door panel in England)

Mine were evidently missing the third screws, and mine had had been completely reupholstered.

I think it was fairly common for them to get removed and not reinstalled.

Ebay says under the upholstered panel. Is that right? I have some but not installed in my car but I was under the impression they went through the door panel not under it.

I only posted for the item not the owners imagination...lol....yes they are exposed in original application...through the panel...P15 door handle square post ends are drilled and taps for this application...

Unfortunately, the memory of what goes first is a memory that never goes away.
