Subject:sliding door handle
From:Mike Miller
Date:Mon, 27 Feb 2023 01:21:39 +0000

87 syncro.
My sliding door has been getting more and more difficult to open. The rear edge wasn't jumping out when the handle was opened so instead of reaching back and pulling out I was jerking harder and harder on the handle.
Handle broke.
So now I need to replace the handle and whatever mechanism makes the rear edge pop out. A handle I can find because I know the name for it. What is the rear mechanism called so I can check the usual suspects to find a new one?
TIA
Mike
