Door Button

[Topper_Harley]

Passenger door opening failed, took everything apart and have found there's a broken connection to the button.

Not obvious as to how the button works so looking for a replacement and guess how much TVR Parts want for ONE - delivered.
Sit down.
£25.06

Amazed, anyone know of decent alternatives???

Ah, yes, sorry.
98 Chimaera, button beneath the door mirror.
There is mastic over the connection with no obvious spot for repair.

Ebay options appear to be too bulky to fit.

As you say, gotta suck it up!

Cheers Rob, will order from racetech. Good to see the pictures of the new paintjob!

Nick - Thanks for the guide. I found out about the mirror glass and took it apart having exhausted the easier options of WD40, door actuators and any obvious breaks in the wire.

It all came apart quite easily and as soon as I freed the button I could see the broken connection. It looks like there is enough wire to just connect to a new button. 8 days to MOT!!

Cheers all, may even document the process based on my luck in finding anything similar on the site.

Cheers Will! I just threw all my money at Racetech.

Didn't think to look at RS over the weekend, all the ones I found looked like they'd been lifted from an 80's pub fruit machine.
