126 Inside Door Handle Drooping - How To Fix?
 

The inside door handle on my 1991 350SDL (original owner) is drooping down. It's still working but I don't like the looks of it drooping down. I am replacing the door panel (can't believe the price of a new door panel) and I would like to fix the handle at the same time. Does anyone here know what parts I need to fix the door handle droop?

Thank you.

The inner door handle is only available as a complete piece and is removed and replaced pretty easily (be sure and thread the latch rod in properly). Once you have the door panel off (many how-to's in the "SEARCH" archives) it is fairly intuitive.

The failure point in the inner handle, that causes the droop, is a worn roll pin. If you have access to a selection of roll pins you can drill out the hole and use a plus size pin to fix it, rather than replace it, but I think the handle is only ~ $25 (or used to be with a decently strong dollar/euro conversion).

EDIT ABOVE: Heck, Fastlane has 'em for $16. Just get a new one from them. Sorry for above rambling.

Thanks jbaj007.
