Thread: No driver door handle

  1. #1

    No driver door handle

    I looked at a 911E yesterday, and the driver door has no handle to pull the door closed. The armrest doesn't look modified in any way. The passenger side has one.
    Why is this? What part is missing?

    thats why you had a door pocket. The fix is to get a passenger handle from a right hand drive car.

    I wonder how hard that is to find?...sounds like a potential idea for some smart pelican to start making.

    I just went to 74 door handles and pockets. Obviously Porsche liked the solution so much they kept it right through the 964.
