Brief Description: Install Interior and exterior Door Handles, Trim
1500 - 1700
Installed interior trim around door rack and gear.
Some trimming and modification was necessary for the trim to fit around the locking mechanism.
Next, we removed the temporary pin and the exterior handle to install the trim ring. It was then we realized that the exterior trim ring was secured from the inside, so the interior trim was removed. The exterior trim ring was then installed with specified hardware. The interior trim was then reinstalled.
The exterior handle spring was installed. The handle was then installed using the required drift pin.
The right door presented a different issue. We initially installed a key lock in the right door as well as the left. After some thought, we decided to remove the right door lock in favor of a locking strap/mechanism on the inside. The problem with the outside key lock is that if the door is locked, it cannot be opened or unlocked from the inside. Will at Aerosport sent me some blank exterior door trim rings that nicely cover the key lock hole. The trim and handle was installedf in the same manner as the left door.
