scotty71 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I would presume all answer are behind the door cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Is that just to remove them from the door, i mean actually strip them down, remove the pull handle from the surround backing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 i need to do this too on the drivers side, it needs a very hard pull to get it open, so any info would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 I noticed inside the handle there is a grommet that comes in and out easily, maybe yours has jammed inside? get a tweezers and play around in there before you strip it down, i hear they are a right pain:( but im painting mine so i gots to do this:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwayne Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 To do the LED stuff in the handle, is that easy? Of the car didn't have if from factory I mean... look here http://www.internetwork.org.uk/kit_inst/doorlock.htm you can pull out the plastic bit on the inside where the handle slides in and out but it still wont give enough room to pull it apart. you would have to remove the pin itself which requires a special tool as far as i know (had to order a replacement handle after i tried it my way ) i'm just removing the spring and spraying the handles pulled open so i can get the paint in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L18msy Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) i need to do this too on the drivers side, it needs a very hard pull to get it open, so any info would be great. It sounds as if the rod into the handle just needs adjusted down the way matey. An easy fix without a full handle strip down needed. Could maybe arrange a supra meeting to get the guys together to discuss arrangements and things over a coffee for suprapod and i could adjust it for you?

Ric Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 You have to cut out the rivet what holds them together, then you can use a small bolt to fix them together after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
