cleaning up VL

[ksty1]

hey guys
my friend has a VL Wagon N/A and we are going to be selling it soon

just wondering if any of you guys know how to put the 2 front door interior handles together again

the handle has broken off
heres a picture of where it's broken (it keep falling out of the hole)


what's the easiest way to fix this, thanks!!

Ok, so basically, that style handle looks the same as the ones I have in my ute:



And, I think you're referring to this part, the handle screws twice into the main arm rest, and once at the top of that thin handle, and with all 3 screws, they go all the way into the door card, and into the actual metal of the door. You could try screwing a metal plate to the inside of the door (under the card) so when you screw the handle into the door, it screws into the metal plate instead of the original hole (which sounds as if it's widened or lost it's threading)

there is a plastic lug in the door that by the sounds of it YOURS is F@#$*D! or you have the wrong sized screw in the hole, try a larger screw or you will need to remove the door card and replace the lug. or you could inject some ARYLDITE epoxy glue into it jam the screw in and leave to set for 24hrs, then sell the car.
I would replace the lug.
