| Post subject: | Mini K Wind Up Door Opener - Overhauling |
Hi, Can anyone provide advice on how to restore dicky door openers on a Mini K? I understand that if the handles don't return to the rubber stopper on the outside of the door, that the 'snail' spring needs renewing. This is on the to-do list. I am also having to 'bop' both doors open with a shoulder and the interior handles are exceptionally stiff. Advice on where/how/with what to lubricate these door openers would be most appreciated - I have only ever had to fiddle with Clubman doors before. Cheers, Tom. |

My driver's side door lock handle was sticking down. I tried blowing graphite into the latch assembly but have had more joy using silicone spray. I would try this first. If inside handles are stiff I would remove door trim then spray the mechanism with the same stuff.
