The plastic trim frame around the door handle on my 1998 Toyota Camry is cracked. How big of a repair/replacement job is it
Is this inside or out? Or front or rear?
This is the plastic bezel insde of the left front drivers door. I guess that it cracked from the cold weater and age. It is causing a bind to the electric lock mechanism and am going to fix it as soon as the weather warms up. Thanks for any advice
That plastic piece can be popped off and then double check the lock operation.
The bezel does become brittle, hot or cold. But the problem could also be a weak lock actuator.
If it's already cracked, take it off and see what happens and let us know.
Thank You Captan and Kitch I'll check it as soon as the weather clears up (ice storm right now) and report back to you
There's a screw hidden behind a little cover. You'll see it . It's in the deepest part of the bezel. Just use a pocket screwdriver to pry it open. It swings open like a little door.
The rest is 1-2-3.
Stay warm.====kitch.
Thank you again for all your input. I think that I will obtain a new bezel before working on the old one as I am sure that the old one is not repairable
