Description
Overview
A direct-fit mounting bracket for the right front door handle designed for the Citroën C3 Picasso (5-door). This component secures the door handle to the latch mechanism and transfers pull force to the lock assembly, ensuring smooth opening and reliable operation of the passenger-side door.
Key Benefits
- Direct replacement part referenced by product code 910959 for quick identification.
- Designed for professional workshops and competent DIY technicians seeking a reliable repair solution.
- Helps restore proper handle feel and door closure after wear or damage to original mounting.
Function And Common Failure Causes
The mounting bracket holds the handle in the correct position and links it to the door latch. Typical failure causes include plastic clip fatigue or breakage from repeated use, impact damage (minor collisions or door slams), and long-term material degradation from heat and moisture. Failures generally present as a loose or detached handle, difficult door opening, or intermittent operation of the latch.
Replacement Guidance
Replacing this mounting is a moderate task for a trained mechanic and achievable by an experienced DIYer with basic tools. Typical steps:
- Remove the inner door trim panel using trim tools to avoid damage.
- Disconnect the handle rods or cables and any electrical connectors if present.
- Remove the damaged mounting bracket from the handle assembly and latch area.
- Install the new mounting bracket, reattach rods/cables, and verify movement and engagement of the latch.
- Refit the door trim and test the handle operation several times to ensure proper installation.
Recommended tools: trim removal tools, a set of screwdrivers, pliers, and a flashlight. Allow approximately 30–60 minutes per door depending on experience and access to fasteners.
Maintenance And Longevity
This is not a scheduled wear item; longevity depends on use and conditions. To extend service life, avoid excessive force on the handle, keep door seals and drainage clear to prevent moisture ingress, and inspect after impacts. If the original mounting shows cracks or excessive play, replacement prevents further damage to the handle or latch mechanism.
