Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

All, I've mentioned in another post that my key cylinder was broke. I took the door apart and found the plastic paddle had broke just like so many others. Here's how I fixed it: - Carefully drilled a hole through the center of each side - Threaded each side with a small screw - Cut head off screw so both sides were threading - Filled hole with metal/plastic cement and screwed both ends together - Used shrink tubing in 2 layers to firm up battle - Reassembled and it works perfectly I hope this helps someone else

POST 2Original post

This thread desperately needs photos to be helpful. I sort of remember what the broken piece looks like, but I can't imagine exactly what you've done to fix it.

POST 3Original post

Ya, I didn't think to post here until I got it all reassembled. I'm gonna find a picture of the piece and post it.

POST 4Original post

Here is a picture of the plastic paddle that turns to unlock the door. It broke off about 0.5 inch from the base. So I drilled a small hole into both ends. Then I took a screw like the one attached and screwed it into each whole to "thread" the plastic. I then cut the head off the screw and twisted both ends together over the screw until it looked like the original plastic paddle. I then put heat shrink tubing over the whole plastic piece to keep it together with less flexing. Hope this helps.

Hi, did anyone have any ideas after seeing this photo? i have a 997 with the same problem. Trying to track down this part is a nightmare. would anyone have a detailed dimension drawing of this in order that I can explore making one. Thanks Colin
