Clean DIY solution to melting BMW handles

Looks like you could put the leather cover on the sticky door handle, I believe it's easiest, cheapest DIY solution. At least you don't have to dismantle the door card panel.
I found the cover for my BMW here: leathersteering.com/en/42-leather-cover-for-car-door-handles

I just installed the plastic inserts for the two front doors that I bought from eBay for $34.69 and installed them both in less than two minutes. They look great even though they are black instead of the tan originals. This is THE FIX!

They come from China and take about two weeks to arrive.

I was not going to try to fix the door pulls, but my wife started complaining about the "sticky stuff" she was getting on her fingers each time she closed the door.

Curious did you remove the old ones, or do they go right over the existing ones? Those seem legit.

They snap in right over the existing opening. No glue. I am a super fussy car guy and I can honestly say that this is the solution. I did clean up the edge with the sticky mess on it with lighter fluid. When you press the plastic piece in place it has a section on the bottom that snaps over the bottom edge to keep it in place.

Now I laugh at what some others have tried to do. No kidding, it took me less than two minutes to fix both front doors!

Has anyone found a more recent solution to the melting soft rubber on their interior door grabs of their 7 series? The ebay links arent working.

My door grabs are melted to the point where you see metal on the door grab? (Repetition deliberate for key word searches.)

Take a look at the thread below, the link I posted there still works:

If people are still looking for a solution, I just came across this: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B082WVZM7S/ref=ox_sc_act_title_8?smid=A4XRJ8S0WXSO0&psc=1

I have not bought it yet, so cannot vouch how good this solution is (how well it fits, etc).

 

[lionplayer]

hey,

The abs plastic is a pretty good solution. The fit is perfectly on the top of the old one, no glue is required and feels great on the fingers. too less than 1 min to install.

I paid £15 for the pair on wish.

Any help is appreciated, my driver's side door handle is melting, at first I thought there was some "tar/goo" on there, but no it's actually melting as I bought some goo-b-gone and it kept scrapping away.

I really don't care about replacing it unless I can replace just the interior plastic part, but I would like to stop touching the tar as it messed up my oyster interior, spots will go everywhere.

Is there some type of spray that would "seal" it? I can tape up the surroundings and spray paint it or something?

Mine is melting on both sides 328i 2014 tar like ... pretty pissed

 

[JaxBMW904]

Still looking for a solution, my passenger side door handle melting and it's annoying

me too help

 

[isstatu1]

The solution is posted a couple posts above. We actually got pretty lucky that this material was only used for the door pull handle. I believe the Maserati Quatroporte from the same era had similar material around the entertainment screen and other dashboard components. It looked terrible there.

I have an extra set of handle inserts, one left, one right. Fits any F01 or F02, front or rear. $35 shipped in the lower 48 states, PM for international rates.

Totally agree with you. I not only have the door handle melting problem but the gas gauge inside of the gas tank has failed and the cost to repair (because it apparently requires the entire tank to be replaced) is almost $4000.

it’s shocking to me that BMW is still able to sell these cars at this price level with these kind of defective manufacturing issues

which error did you get?
I had an issue that I never got fixed regarding the gas. I just never let it go below 1/2 a tank of gas.

I believe the error was jet suction malfunction. something like that.
currently dealing with one of my air struts being messed up and leaking air

I am very disappointed in this. Everyday, a new chunk is coming off. I expected better from BMW
