G'day all,
I have been working on my mini and have started stripping the doors ,how in the hell do you remove the two screws that secure the door handles
Do you have to drill 2 holes in order to allow access to the screw's or is there some secret

Any help would be appreciated
cheers Anth

There are 3 screws not 2.
Stick a screwdriver through the hole where the chromed cap was.
Of course, you have to remove the window, & door lock etc first.
Fun job, I've just done mine...

i have removed the chrome cap ,i just did think there was enough room to get at it with a screw driver will try tmrw


any secrets

cheers Anth

The circlip has to come off first, it is a bastard to get back on, so I leave mine off- just bend that U-shaped link lever out a little and clip is not needed.

I have just reassembled my doors after painting them. Allow yourself lots of time, and don't become too attached to the skin on your knuckles!

I found the door handle screws not too bad to get at.... Just make sure you use the correct size phillips head so that you don't strip the screws.
