81 Outside Door Handles Help!!!!!!!!
Apparently my spring broke on the passenger side ( i think) holding the button in place. My issue is I cant really tell how its supposed to be together to know if i have a part that broke or not. I took the panel off the "good" side to see how the handle works but i really cant see anything and i cant find any video or how these are installed. So at the moment i am at the mercy of this fantastic site for some guidance on how to fix it. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Re: 81 Outside Door Handles Help!!!!!!!!
Danny0 - I appreciate the link. Ive watched most of his videos from that guy but he seems to skip right over how the outside door handle works. I know how to remove the handle but I am trying not to remove the one that is working but instead get an idea of how its hooked up to know what is actually wrong with my other door.
I removed the handle on the one that is not functioning right but I cant tell exactly what might have broken on it or if it just came apart but I cant find a pic of how its supposed to look while together. |

Re: 81 Outside Door Handles Help!!!!!!!!
Can you post a pic of what you have?
I just put my driver's door back together a couple months ago. I might (or some of the other guys might) be able to tell what's wrong just by looking. K

Re: 81 Outside Door Handles Help!!!!!!!!
I just finished painting/refurbing mine and they're still off the truck. If these pics don't help, tell me what angle you need to see.
