Vee 112 Report post Posted September 10, 2017 My rear offside door had stopped opening and I assumed the actuator was FUBAR. Once I'd got the door card off I realised that the bowden cable from the exterior door handle to the latch had snapped. Can anyone shed any light on whether I need to remove the exterior door handle and cable carrier to replace the cable? The is plenty of info on removing broken door handles and guides to the interior door handle cable but not much for the exterior handle cable only - I'm hoping I don't need to take too much stuff off the car.

Clavurion 746 Report post Posted September 10, 2017 I'm not sure but I would first try to remove the top part of the cable without removing the handle carrier. Of course the lower end of the cable has to be removed first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
