  • door handle disassembly

    Does anyone know how to take it all the way apart? I want to clean and paint it but it would be easier if i could get it apart. It looks like if you pry a little with a Flathead screwdriver it would come straight apart, but i want to be sure because this is the only one that i have.

        best to remove the assembly carefuly and clean as assembled. then plaster all joints with playdough and paint as desired. once the paint drys, remove the dough and reinstall

                      I have a red 91L so i think that the red trim on the door pocket will match nice with the red steel at the top of the door. Ill post pics of the handle when i finish with it. Probably going to be tomorrow as i am tired, i have no clay dough, and i am out of black spray paint

                      Once again sorry about the poor image quality. The door pocket looks ok, The plastic is starting to show its age though, alot of little holes that i probally should have primed somehow. Oh well, you live you learn.....

                        Looking good with the trim. You can always pick up another set of pockets that are in better shape. You can also use other Mazda, Kia and Ford ZX/2 door handles in black if you just want to paint the red trim on them.

                              playdough, great idea, poor execution, i just spent 40 minutes picking play dough off of the handle..... turned out ok though!

                              next time i will line it with plasticwrap
