Interior door handle on '00 530

Post by CaptFred »

I have a 2000 530. One of the interior door handles lost it's "spring" action - the tension that operates the handle. I took the face plate off to see if I could repair it. Now I can not reassemble the latch. There is a small spring that puts tension on the bolt that I can't figure out how to connect properly (see photo). Anyone have advice or experience with repairing these door handles?

Welcome aboard.

I had the same problem with two of mine when I first bought my boat. I removed them, took them to a locksmith and they replaced the springs. Good as new. I think the two repairs were $50 total. That's like 10 cents US ;-)
