Part description

This left front door handle is a used original car part intended for Citroën C1 and Peugeot 107 cars. It is a practical part of the body, which has a fundamental influence on convenient and reliable opening of the door from the outside. Parts of this type are often also searched for by the manufacturer’s designation, so it is important to keep track of the part number when choosing.

The advantage is the original design and the specified color KWD – Lipizan white, which can facilitate replacement without the need for further modifications. The part is suitable for repair when the original handle is damaged, cracked, broken, or when the function of the opening mechanism is impaired.

Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for door handle replacement, the exact procedure may vary depending on the specific design of the car and the design of the door.

1) Before assembly

• Check whether the new used part matches the old part in terms of shape, attachment, mounting side and color design.
• Check the condition of the handle for cracks, deformation or damaged attachment points.
• Compare the part number 9101AK to verify the match with the originally removed crank.
• Before assembly, we recommend also checking the connection to the door handle or control mechanism, if it is accessible.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Common assembly tools for disassembling door panels and fasteners
• Plastic pry bar for panel removal
• Screwdrivers and ordinary keys depending on the car model
• Detergent for removing dirt
• Soft cloth

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Secure the vehicle against movement and open the door you will be working on.
2. Carefully remove the interior door trim so as not to damage the plastic handles or upholstery.
3. Get access to the crank mount and associated control mechanism.
4. Disconnect the original handle from the pull rod or opening linkage if it is handled this way.
5. Undo the fasteners of the old handle and carefully remove the part from the door.
6. Compare the old and new handle, especially the attachment, shape and connection to the mechanism.
7. Clean the mounting area and check the storage area for dirt or signs of damage.
8. Place the new handle in the correct position and connect it to the door control mechanism.
9. Reattach the handle using the original or matching fasteners.
10. Before installing the lining, test the opening function and the smoothness of operation several times.
11. After verifying correct function, refit the inner door trim.
12. Do a final check of the crank seat and appearance after assembly.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and functional test verification
  • Try repeatedly opening the door from the outside and from the inside.
  • Check that the handle does not have excessive play and returns smoothly to the starting position.
  • Verify that the door closes properly and that excessive force is not necessary.
  • Check that there are no gaps in the door lining or other disturbing manifestations after installation.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Swapping part side – always compare the orientation and design of the handle with the old part before assembly.
  • Door trim damage – use appropriate plastic tools and proceed with caution.
  • Incorrect connection to the opening mechanism – always test the function of the handle before final assembly.
  • Overlooking cracks or damage to the attachment – check the used part carefully before assembly itself.
  • Assembly without cleaning the space – dirt can impair the seating or operation of the mechanism.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Normal mechanical wear from long-term use
  • Cracking of the plastic part due to frequent pulling of the handle
  • Damage when the door is forcibly opened
  • The effect of frost, dirt and moisture on the moving parts of the mechanism
  • Breaking of the fastening or internal parts of the handle due to increased resistance of the lock or door mechanism
