High on the list of bad design is the 914 door handles. While my passenger side has been tricky since the date of production, the drivers side has pretty much always worked... until the last torrential rain. Now it won't catch, no matter how many times I work the lock. It's been days now and I must get resolution. Please help. ~Bruce

They don't make hangers like the used to. I tried two different ones, both turned out too flimsy to do much once hooked on handle or window crank. I have patience enough to maneuver a piece of wire through a tight seal, hook latches, and gently pull until it gives..about four times, then I lose my cool and now have a nice dent in my driver's door matching my foot. Seriously considering the ball peen hammer to the vent window. I've had it with this aggravation.
FOR SALE: 1973 Porsche 914 1.7L in very good condition with these exceptions: Can't unlock doors. Dent in driver's door. |
