2017 T6 sliding door handle removal and fix/replace

[Warnart]

Hi all, I've recently had someone attempt to break into my side sliding door in the process the door remains closed and unable to be opened at all. Can any kindly soul guide me to process involved for the removal of the locking and handle mechanism? I have removed the door card and found an L shaped pin in the bottom door sill but don't wish to proceed any further as I haven't been able to find a thread in the Forum dealing specifically with removal/replacement procedure and closed door issue. Thanks in advance.

Loose external sliding door handle

Hi all, the external sliding door handle on my t6 is very loose, 5 times out of 10 pulling the handle doesn’t actually open the door. Seems whatever retains the handle to the bodywork is broken/loose - anyone got any advice or remedies please? Tia

You will have to take the lock out to refit the pin, there’s a spring that the pin holds in place, there’s a video on you tube where the guy shows how the lock works.

Thanks jimc91, the spring has been dislodged as well and now looks like I will have to remove the entire mechanism to refit.
It's become a more challenging adventure.
