Re: Door handle button fix
Great video however I would use stainless safety wire to reduce the stretch when that plate pops out again.
Safety wire with safety wire pliers would make that fix permanent! Bill

Re: Door handle button fix
Very cool idea. I had a few handles I need to do this to!

good call I will probably pull it out and safety wire it. I used what I had on hand as I needed to drive it the next day.

Re: Door handle button fix
Great idea, Kalle. With my truck being 67, that issue has had me a little worried. Nobody makes replacements for 67, so this is good thinking man.

Hope you don't have to try it soon and your doors keep opening.

Re: Door handle button fix
I used the universal part known as bailing wire.

Re: Door handle button fix
I used JB weld. After 2 years, they still work fine.

I like the aluminum square tube cut to fit and rivets in it.

Re: Door handle button fix
I did this with my originals, but I used the wire and JB Weld method. They worked foul up til the day I switched them out for new ones. I still hold on to them, just in case.
