Hi guys, so i have recently had to remove the inner plastic mechanism located behind my driver side rear door handle as I accidentally removed the small torx screw and the anodised ring that sits on the edge of the screw dropped loose. I followed the following video to help me get to this component although my aim was just to get to the plastic mechanism not remove the door locking mechanism itself.
If you watch the video from around the 4:00 mark until 5:30 you will see the chap removes a spreader pin and then knocks the plastic tube piece out through the back of the window holding structure. Now i have come to re-assemble this and i cant seem to get the spreader pin or plastic tube piece back in as the steel window bracket is in the way and the elongated hole is to small for me to fit it back through ??? Is there some way of me getting my hand behind and pushing it back in that way without damaging the door or glass etc ? If so should i place the spreader pin back into the tube before forcing it back in ? Sorry for the essay but i wanted to be as detailed as possible, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
