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... :lol:

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.
