BMW Sticky Interior Door Handle Repair DIY - 2010 BMW 328i - FREE REPAIR

Does the interior passenger door handle on your BMW feel sticky? Does the handle leave a gooey rubber material on your hand? If so, your handle is deteriorating.
Instead of replacing the handle part, which is $30 and quite a lot of time due to complex door assembly and disassembly, you might want to try a different fix. Watch how I cut, scraped, and sanded away the deteriorated rubber coating on the handle and exposed the hard plastic beneath. The hard plastic resulted in a clean and smooth grip surface. Unlike replacing the handle, this is a long term fix and should not require replacement throughout the life of the vehicle.

Such defective door handles should be replaced by BMW for free. This car is being marketed as a luxury car after all.

The real question is why does BMW keep making cars with the same problem. I own a 2011 550I which initially cost $70,000 dollars. Really disappointed with the quality of this vehicle. At 80,000 miles i have oil leaks, coolant leaks, failed alternator, interior leaks when it rains, and a melting door handle.

Yeah, I agree with you Michael, This sticky doorhandle issue happened on my 2009 328 along with a host of other problems that shouldn’t be on this car. At nearly $50,000 that these cars sell for brand new I’m convinced all you’re buying is that blue and white roundel status symbol on the hood. Sadly they are not quality built to last any longer than any other car.

Great thinking! This gave me an idea that I tried, and it worked. I used dental floss to gently saw back and forth up through the soft, sticky material (it takes some time & patience; consider industrial-strength floss to prevent breakage). After, I used an isopropyl alcohol mixture (I didn't have goo-gone on hand) to remove any excess sticky residue. No risk of scratching the material with a razor, so no sanding was needed.

This is a great alternative. Personally I’d just change it out for new but I have many years of experience so it might be easier and/or less time consuming. Aftermarket is $20 for both inner/outer pieces. The replacement handles also use a different coating that doesn’t melt like the OE ones.
