I thought I was going to do a small job this afternoon, change door handle rotten seals. Driver one no problem, passenger had *two* broken tabs, so I couldn't really fit it back... disaster!

Well no, with a bit of patience, a sharp knife and a block of PTFE, I manage to 'sculpt' two replacement tabs that fit into the hole left by the broken one. A bit of superglue later to fit them, and fitted back to the door without any issue. Pfew!

Very neat :) But it might have been better to use a different glue as super glue will loosen if the area gets damp.
