SOURCE: sticky

Possible that the rubber has vulcanized due to exposure to heat, try and use a external coat or rubber cover or you will need to replace the handle.

SOURCE: how do i renew sticky rubber handles

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.

Gas pedal is hard to push sometimes. feels like a magnet is holding it.

It is a magnet. Not really, it is the rubber bumper that stops the gas pedal from coming up too far, it gets sticky and holds the pedal, you have to stomp on it to free it and then it is ok for a while, I sprayed mine with wd40 a few times, then finally put a glob of grease on there to stop it from sticking.

How can I change the mirror control panel?

Hi there,

Firstly, get a replacement switch. Carefully take off the cover of the door handle (mine is the diagonal kind - 2002) and then unscrew the two screws at the top and bottom of the handle. Then Unscrew three screws at the very bottom of the door panel - they are the "star" kind - a tork screw. Carefully pull out the snaps on the sides of the door panel. They just pop out of holes in the door frame. Be carefull not to pull too fast or suddenly. Then pull straight up on the door panel. It can be very sticky at the top but gently work it out of the rubber slot at the top. OPTIONAL: Now that the panel is free, disconnect the electrical and door pull cables. Make a note of what connected where! You can skip this step if you can do the next step in a tight spot... You'll see the assembly for the door handle, lock, and mirror switch. There is a screw by the door handle. Unscrew that, then carefully pry open the clips that hold the assembly in. The whole assembly will come forward out of the door panel. Now, carefully unclip the mirror switch. It will come forward out of the assembly. Place the new switch back in its place, and re-clip. AT THIS STAGE, RE-CONNECT THE ELECTRICAL WIRE TO THE SWITCH AND TEST! Replace the assembly back in the door panel. Replace the screw by the door handle and re-connect the wires and cables. Then "Hook" the top of the door panel on the rubber slot. You can check the other door to make sure it's right. Carefully snap back in the sides of the door panel then reconnect the three screws at the bottom. Finally, replace the two screws in the door handle, and replace the door handle cover.

Best of luck

How hard is it to change out the power lock mechanism in the drivers door?

It is fairly easy, You have to remove the door panel, take off your watch and put on some rubber gloves, the gum that prevents the wind from coming through the door is super sticky, ok, first, look for fasteners at the bottom of the door hidden under little trim caps, then look behind the handle for a screw, then look down in the armrest for more screws, then, when you have the door loose on the bottom, pop the plastic clips that hold the rest of it on, then pop it straight up past the door lock, It is a little tricky, once you get it off and dangling by wires, rest it on something so it doesn't hit the floor, Now peel off the sticky stuff carefully in front of the lock, The electric part is down near the handle, it is bolted to the frame and has two rods going to it, one up, one down, remove the whole thing, pull the wires, put in the new one, remember how it was, then put the whole mess back together after you check to make sure it works. It might be the switch, they get wet when the window is down in the rain, and they quit working. Check it out, hope this helps.

Toyota manual windows..very sticky..

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!

Both driver-side door latches stick when opening requiring a little extra tug to open the door. Had them lubed, but no help.

Be sure it's not something that was sprayed or spilled onto your rubber noise/weather seals that line the interior of the door. Sometimes detail shops use things other than Armor All and it causes a sticky seal. Listen for a noise, if not, maybe your latch needs adjusted (the part on the door jamb, not the latch on the door). This could cause you to break a door handle in the winter.

Sticking gas pedal

its either the throttle cable is binding or you could just loosen the clamp off the rubber intake boot. and pull it off the intake and pull open the throttle and clean the butter fly that opens and closes and see if that helps, if its really dirty with old oil carbon build up itll feel really sticky. does this help

Loud humming sound coming from the front of my car

In my case it was a sticky calliper and replaced it.
My wife was noticing it and at first I was not hearing it cause I didnot test drive far enough
Just feel the wheels after some driving, if calliper sticks it is red hot and you can actually smell the heat.
I found that when I removed calliper that I could still apply braking power to other wheels, that's how sticky it was(did not want to come out easy and therefor especially not back off) decided to replace calliper (expensive but life time warranty) to keep life simple. I like the design, very easy to work on.
Allways carefull with the rubber hose (they can cause stickyness as well due to some obstruction inside if handled roughly
