Vw Polo 6r 2010 3 door Stiff Door Handle.

Post by edward918 »

My driver's side door handle is stiff on the outside to open the door. Inside feels fine, would spraying WD-40 inside the handle mechanism help or is there a more permanent fix?

Thanks!

Maybe try spraying white grease or PTFE loaded grease into the area where the door lock is - and manipulate the locking mechanism by moving it into the closed position using a screwdriver then releasing it using the door handle a few times until it feels freer. A spot of grease on the door pillar catch should also help but make sure that it is only a spot or it could end up on your clothes.
