Title: Door handle hard to open
Post by: rgafitanu@gmail.com on March 27, 2018, 13:34:48

The driver door becomes harder and harder to push the button to open. Anybody knows why is this happening or which part is wearing making it difficult for the mechanism to work?

Thank you,
Radu

I had this trouble with my 113. Removed the door card and took off the handle and then adjusted until it was freed up.
It took a decent amount of trial and error. I eventually took apart the good side and used it as an adjustment guide for the sticky side.
The mechanism isn't rocket science you just need to be patient and record all adjustments as you go along until its better.
I didn't have a worn out issue that would be another solution all together.
Good luck.
