Fitting help Gloss rear handles

[cheungy]

going to order some of these for my leon from seremotors and he quoted to me ...
"the rear handles require a door strip tho, a bit more involved but not difficult."

Has anyone done this mod for the car handles, am not tinting them but am changing the OEM
ones for the cupra ones with a gloss finish I personally think they look alot nicer so any help would be
great.

if there is a link with pics much appreiated!

Thank you very much

yes done them and they are quiet easy, one thing i recommend is to loosen the screws from the rear door lock its self, makes it easier to get the cable out of the handle and put the new handle on to the existing cable.

simple to do but daunting at first!

Look at the new ones you have, it will show you where the torx bolts will go, 2 are under the winder runner guide for starters.

Have search for the speaker upgrade thread, it shows you how to get the door trim off, you'll need to also have small hands, its tight in there.


I'd budget for +/- 2.5hr for the 1st & maybe half that for the 2nd as you'll know what your doing.
