| Removing door handle caps |
|
OK, I know I will sound like a complete muppet asking this numpty question but before I make an  of attempting to, how do you remove the door handle caps? 🤔🤔🥴
Both front door handle caps on my D3 are pretty loose and I want to change them.
Thanks 🙏 Mick

If you talking about the interior ones then a Thin wide screwdriver (or thin plastic) under one end, although if they’re loose you may just be able to prise them off with your fingers.
At the thicker end (towards the rear) the plastic is very thin so may bend or break but if you’re putting new ones on just add a dab of araldite...  I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Cheers Nige.
It’s the exterior ones, I should have said.
Same principal as the interior? Mick

Yeh, I saw that video early today but doesn’t go into how to get the small cover off, the one that on the LH front door pops off for key access.
How do you get the one on the driver side off? Mick

Sorry to say I’ve never got one off without breaking the retaining lugs and sticking them back on  If I remember correctly they pull out slightly and then slide across but......someone be along soon who has more luck than me It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
