Grab the rod with vice grip`s & put a lil kink in it, not much, you want to shorten it, not snap it.
Or you could get a GV!!

| Post subject: | Vitara inner door handle has troubles opening the door |
Hi Guys, When I try to get out of my car (from the drivers side) I find that I really have to yank on the door handle to get the latch to pop so I can open the door and I think it is getting worse. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem and if new door handles like those on ebay may help or are they for broken/snapped door handles like what can happens on the tail gate: SUZUKI VITARA INNER DOOR HANDLE NEW It seems as though part of the linkage is too long between the handle and the door latch. |

Had the phone near my pc so here are some pics. I just bent the rod a bit and now the door opens easy. I had the latch lined up to the screw hole so you can see the original wear mark from the original location of the rod. It was pretty soft actually or I was strong that day

Works a treat in the window channels too. Oh so much easier winding by hand and for power windows, the motor has an easier time My civic coupe power windows used to pop out of the track if i didnt used silicone spray. 5x pita!

My passenger side window seems to be a bit sticky and I have some silcon spray so I will give that a go soon too. |
