danyoda1 Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 hi guys. i have a mk1 v6 galaxy and have just had a clifford alarm fitted which obviously does total closure and deadlocking etc. i want to take the front door handles off (the ones with the key hole) and replace them with rear door handles as these look to be identical except for no key hole to be attacked. has anyone done this or know if they are a direct replacement or will i have to swap the lock mechanism as well as the handles????? cheers in advance guys dan Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 Done it :lol: just get a set of rear handles and fit them in pace of the front ones, you dont have to change the locks or the C/L motors :lol: Quote
steve67car Posted January 8, 2006 Report Posted January 8, 2006 done it as well just undo the torx in the door jam and remove old door handle replace is as straight forward as its the same operating linkage :lol: 1/2 hour each door tops i did it in about 5 minutes [ well after 1/2 hour looking for the right torx :unsure: ]and i still have a couple of spare handles if required :unsure: Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted January 8, 2006 Report Posted January 8, 2006 i still have a couple of spare handles if required :lol: YEAH to right you have :unsure: get yourself down the gym and burn off that excess, or finally go for the lipo suction you keep going on about :huh: http://www.freedomtrailriders.org/forums/style_emoticons/default/hack.gif Quote

Masked Marauder Posted January 8, 2006 Report Posted January 8, 2006 So what did you do about the boot? Quote
Guest vr6galaxy Posted January 8, 2006 Report Posted January 8, 2006 nothing B) you leave it alone, that way you still have access if your remote dies :) Quote
danyoda1 Posted January 8, 2006 Author Report Posted January 8, 2006 sod that i took the boot handle off. welded up the hole, filled it and painted it. looks killer and leaves no keyhole to attack Quote
