Blitzkrieg Bob: Door handle gaskets

**HIe34** · 12-06-2006, 06:21 PM

Bob,

Got my gaskets from Malaysia today. Any advice?

**Blitzkrieg Bob** · 12-06-2006, 06:27 PM

there's a little oval plastic grommet on the edge of the door above the latch.

gently pry it off to access the slide that releases the outer cover. (I have a long screw driver adapted for this)

clean the years of crud behind the cover off

fit the new gasket

hold the cover/gasket to the door

pull the slide

put back the grommet

done

come by Saturday early afternoon and I'll help

might tackle the heater valves too?? Not that I need heat but it would be nice if everything worked like it is supposed to.

Thanks.

I can't seem to get the damn things off. I've even tried it with the door cards out. I'm obviously trying to move the wrong bit. Has anyone got a photo of the piece I should be sliding?

I think I can handle that. I'll have to come up with another project for Saturday. Transmission fluid change?
