External door handle sticking

cameron1 · Feb 8th, 2017, 20:15

Hi,

I don't know if the weather we are currently having has anything to do with it, but for some reason when ever i pull the front passenger door handle on my 2011 S40, it sticks in the open/pull position and i have to push the handle back in?

Should i use some wd40 ?

Thanks
Cameron

Better off using some silicon spray lubricant. WD40 is only likely to last for a short while.

Thanks. Do you have any recommendation on brands. Can you post some links of parts suppliers who would stock it.

Thanks

Halfords do the 3 in1 silicone spray for 6 quid. Used it for years on door handles, locks, hinges etc.
