Removing A Citroën-D Series Door Handle

“I am at a loss as to how to access the outside rear door lift handle assembly for removal. While attempting to press out a small dent surrounding the outside door lift- handle using a lever through the window glass slot I dislodged one of the “bobby pin” shaped flat springs from the backside of the handle. So I not only need to replace that, I also still need to remove the handle to finish the dent removal. Any information will be sincerely appreciated.”

The Citroën CX introduced in 1974 was the the replacement for the Citroën D Series. It was the last car that was designed by Citroën before Peugeot took them over. A wonderful riding and quite car, the CX was made through 1989 and was then replaced by the Citroën XM.

Hi Dennis,
My father has a Citroen GSA Special bought in 1983, that he maintains in mint condition, even after daily use. Im just saying hi and I’m trying to talk him through scanning some pictures of it, just for fun.
I notices you have a GSA in your Citroen barn there, but it looks dismantled. What are you doing to it?
Take care,
Blake
