Door Handle Cover Help!

[mazda_lexus]

I noticed there was a gap between the door handle and the lock cover, messed around and the lock cover came off. How do you fix this?

I would think it just clips back on.

I tried that..maybe a little more elbow grease and possibly super glue for added hold

If you can't find any other ways of doing it, that's what I would do.

What does the back of the cover look like. Are any plastic clips bent/broken?

It is weird that it just came off. Maybe the guys at @CollegeHillsHonda can give you better advise?

It looks like they were last active on Sept 15th so they might. You could always send them an email too.

Take a pic of the back side of the cover. I believe it slides in between the door and the metal piece surrounding the the key hole. Once it slides in, it might click into place.

I saw there was space between the door handle and the key hold so I pushed a little bit on the cover and low and behold it popped off. I might have yo go to honda..but don't wanna pay for that stuff..

I’ve honestly never messed with that before lol but maybe @Nomar06 is on to something.

If super glue doesn’t work, try an epoxy for plastic. Jbweld and other companies make 2 part mixes just for plastic. Loctite is another that makes it.

From the pictures it does look like it just clicks in once the tabs catch. Maybe it just needs a little more pressure to click in to place.

Edit: After doing a little research, the door handle cover coming off was apparently a common problem on some older civics. I am assuming this is a similar problem and most cases it was fixed with some plastic putty or epoxy on or around the tabs.

I get back into town tomorrow and can see what the Accord cover looks like and compare it to your pic.

I barely messed with the Accord stuff but I think it might be different. I'll let you know...
