I need to hit the door handle to open the rear door!

Featured Replies

The rear drivers side door on my Fabia vRS (56 reg) wont open via either inner or outer handle unless I give the outer handle a firm thud with the palm of my hand.....any clues??

The door opens and closes fine then until I lock the car and unlock again the rear door refuses to open until again I hit it!:thumbdwn:

Help!

Take it back to the dealers as its under warranty.

Cheers, it's booked in for next week

sounds like something in the mechanisms sticking slightly,

it'd no doubt wear off if you "work" the handle a few times.

when it does go to the dealers get them to check for a water tight seal if they remove the inner door card. (No point ending up with leaky doors and another trip to the dealers)

I would hazzard a guess that the bowden cable on the handle is too tight and not letting the catch reset fully.
