Help? 1990 Legacy door handle

May 03, 2008 2 Replies

Could someone kind offer experience/advice re the Passenger (front) door lock of a 1990 Legacy. The electric lock mechanism responds, but the handle flips out and then half way back in again, making it a two handed effort to open the door. Is this just a mechanicl spring problem? Is it the handle electrical mechanism? The actuator inside the door? A matter of adjustment?



These pieces are expensive to replace so I hate guessing in what piece or adjustment the problem lies.



I also need a passenger side sun visor as the arm on mine is broken. Gray color preferred. Thanks tom carney Gillies Bay B.C. Canada


Have you checked the door hinges? Bet they are worn out and the door is dragging on the striker plate.

Open the door and lift up and down: you'll feel / see the hinge slop. Replace both hinges. Check the driver's door too.
