    Replacing Door Handle Driver Side Convertible - Help Please!

    My door opening handle mechanism broke recently. I bought a new one but I really am having trouble getting it into the opening for it.

    On all the tutorials I've seen, there appears to be plenty of room to move it around and get it in there. However, on a vert, it appears the door has added door bracing in that area that limits that maneuvering space.

    Anyone change one of these on a vert? How did you get the handle in? I am stumped!

    I replaced a broken handle on my cabrio and don't remember any special problems. It's been a while. Sorry I can't give specifics, but it can be done. Good luck.
