Door Handle Replacement - Front Outside: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The outside handles have adjustable outside handle-to-lock rods. This allows for adjustment of the amount of travel needed in order to operate the outside handle.
When servicing a vehicle with adjustable outside handle-to-lock rods, remove all free play between the outside handle and the lock. Also, do not operate the outside handle before these connections are made.
