Ford Ka - Fixing a broken outside door handle (handle will not open door)
Basically the plastic handle is attached to the lock mechanism via a metal rod, the plastic linkage on the back of the door handle gets broken and can no longer open the door. I was quoted £120 to fix this at the dealers, so thought I would have a go myself. Some people had written guides about removing the door trim, but nobody had actually done a guide about fixing the door handle problem start to finish.
Tools Required
Screwdriver (philips star and flat heads)
Drill (4 / 4.5 mm metalwork drill bit)
Stanley Knife
2x 4mm rivets and a rivet gun (or self tapping screws)
silicone sealant (optional)
Step 1 : Remove door card and skin
Pop out electric window control with a flat screwdriver and disconnect from cable. Removed screw now visible in the hole.
Remove the other 3 screws from the door card..
Door card can now be removed, its held on with plastic clips that should pop off..
Now peel back the skin behind the handle area..
You should now be able to see the severity panel that protects the lock area, its riveted to the door in two places (see third pic top and bottom) and sealed with silicone (black in picture) at the side next to the door skin.
