Re: [MBZ] 300CD door handle
Yeah I have some extras of those I pulled from junkyard cars and the 420 SEL I knackered and maybe a new one somewhere in the stash. I don’t recall it being very much $. Is the CD version any different from the sedans? I think the driver side in this CD I have is broken too, was gonna pull one out of the rusty TD which I replaced at some point so it is “new”. The SEC is broken too, i threw the SEL pull in there to replace at some point. --FT Sent from iPhone > On Dec 8, 2018, at 10:44 AM, Dimitri via Mercedes > wrote: > > I bought one a few years ago.

Re: [MBZ] 300CD door handle
More specifically: 1.) Get a small flat bladed screwdriver. Pull out on the handle, and near the hinge of the handle use the screwdriver to pry the black plastic cover out of the frame. It has a little tab that hold the front edge of it in place, the back side of it (the side closest to the handle hinge) is held in with pressure. 2.) With the plastic cover removed, you’ll see a phillips head screw in the middle of the frame. Remove it. 3.) Pull out on the frame and handle and it will come loose from the door card. It will have a metal rod attached to the back of the handle. Pul the rod out of the hole in the handle and the handle will now be free. Reverse the procedure to install the new handle. I can recall doing this on pretty much every new W123 and W126 when I go it, since the driver’s door release handles were always worn out and sloppy. Might I ask what a new door handle costs these days? Just curious... -D > On Dec 7, 2018, at 11:04 PM, Curley McLain via Mercedes > wrote: > > If it is similar to a regular 123, there is one screw that holds it in.

Re: [MBZ] 300CD door handle
If it is similar to a regular 123, there is one screw that holds it in. If it has a plastic "pocket" under the latch, you need a sharp stick, or a small screwdriver, etc to pull that out from its catches. Then you will see the screw. Release rod is just held on with a clip. Easy! Dwight Giles via Mercedes wrote on 12/7/18 9:34 PM: I just bought an Inside door handle from Classic Center for my driver door.
