Hi all,

The drivers side handle on my 147 just popped out (the hinge side), right before I'm about to put the car up for sale!
I've attached pictures to this post - is there an easy fix for this?
Could I just glue it back on with no more nails/gorilla glue?
Don't really want to pay £50/£60 + labour to fit a new one if I don't have to.

Thanks in advance

You can get a replacement hinge for about £12

Thanks bud, could I not just glue it to the door as a temp fix though? Got someone coming to view the car tomorrow and I won't get the hinge in time to fit it by then

I'd be annoyed to find a car I'd purchased had been glued together for my viewing - why not just mention it? Any serious buyer isn't going to be that bothered by that.

It looks as though the other end is still attached inside the door, which is good, as at least if you're careful you can still use the handle.
