Felicia door handle snapped internally?

Featured Replies

Apologies if this has been answered before, but a friend tried to open my rear passenger door yesterday whilst it was locked and seems to have broken or disconnected some internal component - the door now only opens from the inside, the outside handle is still in place and lifts but no longer opens the door. Is this something I can likely fix with minimal tools and experience and if so, how? The car is a 2000-plate Felicia Classic.

If it's the same as the Favorit, it's just a connecting rod that's either come adrift or broken. Will be obvious inside the door once you've got the door card and inner weather membrane off.

your problem is related to lever pointed by the red arrow.

the lever might get broken or snapped from the plastic hook marked in red.

Had the same problem ones, but on the inside handle. Door panel comes off really easy. 2 bolts in the door-handle, one above the compartment in the door and one behind the window handle. Just pull a little and the panel will loosen. From there, you will probably be able to see the problem. Those problems are normally not difficult to solve, but it's not always easy to work inside the doors.

Sorry for mistakes in my writing, I'm not a native English speaker.

I have 2 images for you after door panel is off. Hope it helps.
