marksmanta47 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Hi all -I’ve removed the manta exterior door handle and it has a lot of play in it - does anyone know of a fix for this or is it a case of replacing the door handle ? Presumably they’re handed so I can’t just swap it for the passenger side which is perfect ? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmanta Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 It could be that the little rubber stopper has perished and fallen off, this results in the handle rattling. If it is play then its easier to replace, they are handed but they are available from lots of different people, pop a wanted ad on here and I am sure you will get a reply soon.

marksmanta47 Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Thanks mate - I’ll check the rubber stopper & go from there 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 they can be repaired too if you wish. they wear away the pivot point / shaft and can be drilled out and re pinned with a bit of patience .this is a good idea if your handle is otherwise pit free especially on the earlier chrome type. otherwise as mentioned make sure the rubber stop is still present and adjust the operating rod to eliminate any play as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
