Sticky the grip rubber on the knife handle has become sticky,how do i renew them?

The tail light is usually mounted from inside the vehicle. Remove the boot liner behind the tail light. Disconnect the bulb connectors. There should be three nuts holding the light fitting onto the bodywork. Remove these and the light should pull out. The rubber water seal might make it a little sticky to remove. Use a PLASTIC tool to GENTLY break the grip the seal has. It should then just lift out.

clean with soap and water
probably find that a agent was used incorrectly and now the rubber is starting to break down

as the interior of a closed car reaches the 100's the internals of cd drives rubber cracks an becomes sticky with breakdowns.
a new cd player with usb would be the fix.

They have a funny sort of bar thing at the back of lock and they crack and break they are easy to renew and cost me about 2 euros each and you dont have to strip the door to fit them ,its quite easy open the door and look level with the door handle on the end of the door is a rubber grommet ,pull this out and their is the screw that hold the door handle in ,remove the screw the slide the handle towards the end of the door and the handle comes out .

Try lubricating the "handles" with an Armour All type polish...the handles should absorb some of the lubricant and with consistent wiping, should perform with out the "sticky" feeling...replacing the handles is the next option. Hope this helps.

remove the door handle screw covers at the pull handle and hand grip, remove pull out window switch and chack for screws underneath, once all srews are removed about 3-6 of them,pry bottom of panel away from door with a putty knife there are a dozen or so plastic clips holding it from behind they just pop out, then the top of the panel is hanging on the edge of the window lip

Hi. I am having a Getz GLS and faced similar problem I looked for a solution and at last got it resolved myself and that too PERMANENTLY. IF you want to check out, them mail me to [email protected]. Now my car dash board is absolutely normal. Stickiness gone for ever. If you are in Kolkata, I can also show you my car.

It sounds like you have a belt or pulley problem, or possibly a bad bearing in the alternator, or water pump. I would suggest, having it looked at, by a mechanic right away.

The 'sticky' windows can be caused by:

1) Dead windows seals rubber that are no longer flexible and can break down to the point of being sticky rubber: replace the seals or as a temporary solution rub a bar of wet soap on the seals where the windows slide against.

2) Lack of lubrication in the windows winder mechanism: you will need to remove the doors handles & internal covering panel to get to the gears located in the doors cavity where the windows slide in.

Hope it helps!

On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls
