Hey, not seeing the pic. Do you still have those dimensions? Thanks!

 

Hi, you do know that the last post on this thread is almost 10 years ago?
What is it that you are looking for help with?

 

Yes, I am aware lol. Crossfire owners never leave!! I want to try and make a wrap on my laser cutter for the door pull handle but I need the exact measurements.

Thanks!

 

To wrap the entire door pull handle you will have to remove it. To remove the handle you will probably have to remove the door panel. Unless I'm wrong, you have to access the parts where the screws go into from the back and push the tabs in to release the handle assembly.
I've taken the front part of the handle off, but I couldn't get the back part off. I was doing a post on reinforcing the door handles because eventually they will break.

You can take a look at this thread and post # 15 in the thread shows what the back of the door panel looks like.

This link has a great picture of the back of the door panel and you can see how the pull handle is connected.

You could also find someone selling one and ask them for the measurements. Hopefully this is helpful.

 

All you need to do is remove the silver cover. It pops in half. To remove the actual pull, there are two bolts under the cover that hold it on. You do not need to remove the door panel.

First on the list is to take apart the two piece door handle using a painters spatula. Carefully wedge and pry the two inner and outer halves apart from the bottom groove of the handle applying moderate pressure.

 

I tried that when I was doing the reinforcement how to. I removed the 2 screws and couldn't get it to move.
It wasn't necessary to remove it for what I was doing, but I was curious to see how they came apart.

 

Thanks so very much, this is very helpful! If I am successful in creating a perfect fit wrap, I will let the Crossfire community know!

 

Wrong information here. The picture shows how to remove one half and it is correct that what's left on the door is attached by two screws but even then you can't get the door-pull handle off without taking apart your door. From behind the door you can depress these clips: CLICK
There might even be glue/epoxy involved, I can't remember.

Either way, door panel must be removed, which is held in by those little white plastic retainers that are known to break so make sure you have those. If you just want to wrap it, there are other ways - something like this Leather Door pull

And if you are just going to wrap it, because the chrome seam behind the door pull is starting to come apart, you can just place a small strip of translucent tape back there. Nobody would feel it or see it. Did that on my old Coupe so people wouldn't cut their fingers lol.

 

I was able to piece together some chrome tape and fastened around the handle and made a template. I will try and cut out a model tonight!

 

I look forward too seeing what you come up with! Keep us posted.

 

So far I have a template for the back of the drivers side door. Since there is a line/seam where the front and back meet I thought it might be odd to have one solid wrap, but I think I will try to make one of those too and see how it looks. I will work on the front template this weekend. I purchased some chrome vinyl self adhesive paper that I am going to use to test it all out once I have all the templates made. So far, so good!

 

You might want to take photos?

 

I will when I get all the templates made. I will certainly do a before and after.

Thanks, if I can't get the wrap the way I want it, I may look into these. I have part of it done, but got delayed with family stuff. I will try to keep working on it next week.

Not me,I never did take tat picture.

 

I have half the set completed! I got busy and am just now getting to where I can work on them some more! I hope to have a final set by this weekend!
