Hey Bradley thank you for your highly detailed video on how to fix the door handle. Your straightforward instructions and video helped me to replace the handle in about 1.5 hours..added bonus is I didn't break anything in the process! This is my Moms car and she was quoted $1500 at the stealership! I repaired it for $20. Many Thanks Again!

[@BradleysGarage]

Thanks for the kind words Rolland, glad the video helped you out with your Mercedes. It's crazy they want $1500 for the entire door panel and that's their fix. Yes, it takes some time to replace but like you said, $20 and a couple hours and you are good for another decade or more. Cheers!

[@MichaelJohnson-oi2zl]

3 hours I’m no mechanic never been and my toolset is basic …. Appreciate the time to save me honest money

[@BradleysGarage]

Thanks for the comments Michael, glad the video was able to help get yours swapped out. It's crazy the Dealer wants you to buy the complete door panel for $1500 for a broke door handle. Thanks again for hanging out. Cheers!

[@faridonsorush6592]

Thank you so much for this wonderful gift. It saved me hundreds of dollars. Mercedes dealer wanted me to replace the entire panel. Following your instructions made it possible to replace the handle myself. I really appreciate ❤

[@BradleysGarage]

Thanks for the kind words, we are glad the video helped yo out on your Mercedes project. Be sure to check out all the videos we have posted on the C250 here - kzbin.info/aero/PLFnK0z3T00fXJS_C_0mOTHudox6MTruuC&si=WosBebzaJglzmS3e Cheers!

[@ski69]

You'd think the new handle would be cast aluminum???? ahhahahahah

[@BradleysGarage]

You would think they would have designed it better after more than a decade. It's obvious the handle was a poor design to begin with. At least if this one breaks again, you can simply unscrew it instead of having to drill out the plastic bits. Cheers!

This video is excellent and I have used it to relace mine too. Thank you very much. 🙂

I'm watching as I fix mine now. So far I've removed the innards and I'm having a coffee before I attempt the pin. I found a thin sharp chisel on its back side will gently cut the heads off. It's midnight and my car's getting an mot tomorrow so Im here until finished. Thanks for video.

@@BradleysGarage Great video! 🔥 May I ask kindly for the part number to refer to? I just reached out to the dealership. They advised I need part number, otherwise I would have to purchase entire panel. Please advise when time permits Thanks for your help

@@BradleysGarage Everything went swimmingly and it took around 2.5 hours and my car passed its mot. Many thanks Bradley.

Hello Bradley, from the land of the Mercedes stars, thank you very much for your video clip. I bought the door handle online in the aftermarket for just under 20 dollars. Thanks again and keep up the excellent service ...

[@BradleysGarage]

Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck on your Mercedes project, let us know how things go. Cheers!

[@user-ey7dt9fw7t]

@@BradleysGarage I already replaced the door handle yesterday. Thanks to your video, which ran parallel to the installation on my Mac, everything worked perfectly ...

[@BradleysGarage]

@@user-ey7dt9fw7t That's great news, glad to hear things went smooth. Thanks again for hanging out. Cheers!

[@WeeGee58]

Yeah I aint going through all that hassle to fix this issue. My inner door handle broke today. Going to just buy a door panel from a scrap yard.

[@BradleysGarage]

Thanks for the comments, it is a process to repair the handle but it should last another 10+ years. Getting a complete door panel would be an easier swap for sure. The only issue is the panel you are getting is also 10+ years old so the handle will soon be failing shortly after the swap. Unless you can find a clean wrecked garage kept car, chances ae it will be on it's way out as well. Good luck on your MBZ project, Cheers!

[@meazz1]

Great video! Keep up the good work!

Did you fix it by yourself? I’m thinking of doing it…but I’m afraid I’d ruin it😂

[@motopsyko32]

Is the new one also plastic?

[@BradleysGarage]

Yes, the replacement is the same plastic. We didn't search if anyone makes a metal version. We figured we got at least another 10 years with the plastic handle. Good luck on your Mercedes-Benz project, Cheers!

[@Affrihano]

Splendid work. Do u want came in Italy to do the same thing to my mercedes? 😀

[@BradleysGarage]

Thanks for the kind words, not sure when we will be in Italy so it might be a long wait. 😎 Hopefully the video helps you out with your Mercedes project. Cheers!

[@christis1975a]

😢broke mine yesterday it's so annoying

[@BradleysGarage]

Sorry to hear that Chris, it is a little time consuming but Mercedes wanting $1k for a new door panel is complete insanity. Hopefully the video helps motivate you to get it done for less than $30. Let us know how things go on your MBZ project. Cheers!

[@nobody7445]

Thanks! I'm never buying another German car for as long as I live! So overly complicated for no reason & cheap flimsy plastic garbage. They sure aren't what they used to be & it's a dam shame!

[@BradleysGarage]

Thanks for the comments, they have their moments for sure. We enjoy the driving experience you get from Euro cars. American, Korean and Japanese just don't offer that same level of refinement. And trust us, they have other repair issue items that are even worse than door handles. it really comes down to what you like and if the driving experience matter to you. Cheers!

[@nobody7445]

Thanks for responding & your video was very helpful. I just wish they would have better build quality with the prices they charge! The handle shouldn't be flimsy plastic & the way to remove it should be simplified if they do want to make it so difficult even their own techs don't want to do the job they just tell you to get a whole door panel lol & you are right I do love my '06 x5 I haven't owned it long enough to know the headaches repairs will bring me along the way but it rides & drives great for now & good power for a 6cyl I was told the v8 was fun but less reliable! Looking forward to more of your videos as I attempt to keep these things on the road as long as I can

[@Hmmm313]

as you can see..german design shit..endless money pits

[@BradleysGarage]

Thanks for the comments, sometimes they get it wrong with the design but we won't be driving anything else. Sure you can drive around in a Honda Accord but it's not even close to the driving experience you will get in a German car. Plus, it provides more great videos for the channel. 🙂 Cheers!
