Porsche 944 - Door Handle Trigger Linkage Replacement Tutorial 

I have to leave one more comment. I washed my 944 in the evening and temperatures dropped below freezing that night. The next morning, I went to open the drivers door and the handle pulled in without opening the latch. I feared the linkage had broken or water had gotten inside the handle and froze something plastic. After taking apart the handle and the door card, I found the roll pin sitting in the bottom of the door. The linkage is completely intact but somehow the pin popped out? What's even more strange is that I had to use a hammer to tap the pin back in the holes as it was a tight fit. No idea how this happened but my door handle is working again thanks to your well shot, well narrated video. Truly top quality content on this channel

Great video! The cable for the inside handle broke on my driver-side door. There's a tiny cir-clip that holds the cable to the lock mechanism, but it's inside the door and not accessible until you remove the lock mechanism. I needed to remove the lock mechanism to replace the broken cable, but I was stumped for a while trying to figure out how to separate the lock mechanism from the outer door handle. Your video showed me how to do it. Thanks so much and keep up the great work!

Almost perfectly on cue - mine stopped working just a few days ago! I think I'm going to have to adjust my approach to videos - your videos are fantastic tutorials and I'd much rather be referring people to you than recreating a version of this. I'll have to do some thinking.

Literally the thing I needed most. But nothing I deserved. THANK YOU

Nice. Mine needed some adjustments it was a bit tight. I hope the new owner finds this video.

I snapped mine trying to get it out for adjusment - taking the door card off made it much easier!

Timely video. My passenger side handle stopped opening from the outside. Unfortunately, the PO had stripped the screws in the door latch mechanism...hopefully I can get by with adjusting the linkage

I had to replace the 2 plastic ends. It was mostly broken on one-sided but in way it was partly functional. The other side finally broke too. It drove the central locking system crazy.

Amazing video as always! So, mine looks like similar issues, but can’t quite diagnose yet cause I can’t open door from inside. Leave me thinking at first to open up door, I need to somehow unlock it from mechanism on door panel…but it is not easy to pray a small pick and try and catch the lock hinge to open it…any other ideas welcome!! Thank you.

Thank you very much

Hello. What is that electrical wire attached to the door handle? And how this wire can be removed? I am thinking of removing the door handle completely for painting but this electrical wire attached to door handle is in the way. Thanks.

Can you get at the plastic door lock linkage without removing the window track?

Same procedure for the black trim around the door handles? Mine are completely shot!!

Is this roughly the same for the 968?

So what parts should be ordered for this repair? (Had the same problem something broke on a winter day) please help 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 (car opens from inside, but not the outside)

Great video, thanks! …Do you happen to also be a commercial airline pilot? bc you sound exactly like one! 😆

Perfect timing my handle decided to stop working about a month ago. Tried to fix and it's missing the pin to connect the handle to the linkage. I'm hoping I just need to replace the pin and adjust the linkage, but we'll see

I use my broken handle as a theft deterent..mine locks n the latch stays depressed n door wont open. I just push the trigger forward and it catches and i can then open the door..i kinda like that it is broken this way..😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

How do I adjust it so it opens ealrier?
