handle fix and bump strip removal on my 06
did a few things to my car last week. my 06 v6 had the bump strips on the door. so i just parked the car in the sun and waited a bit and pulled the strips off. then, used some adhesive remover to get the rest of the sticky off. looks sooo much better.
then, i took my drivers side door handle off since it was sticking out, the spring wouldnt pull it back. it wasnt out of adjustment, the slots for it were worn out. so, first, i tried heating the plastic to bend them back. didnt work too well. so, i ground the little ears off the metal piece that runs through the spring. then i drilled a hole all the way through. then i knocked in a piece of rod that fit tightly in the hole. fixed my door handle sticking out problem! glad its fixed, i feel much better about it now!
