<p>A method of attaching a vehicle door handle (18) to the outer skin (11) of a vehicle door (10), and a door handle assembly (12) to facilitate such attachment. The door skin (11) is provided with a pair of apertures (14c) and a plurality of lugs (22, 24, 26 and 28) are provided on an inner planar face (14a) of the door handle assembly (12) together with a spring clip (20) proximate one end of the planar surface. The door handle (18) is mounted on the door (10) by passing the lugs (22, 24, 26 and 28) through the apertures (14c) while deflecting the spring clip (20) inwardly and thereafter sliding the door handle assembly (12) over the door skin (11) to move web portions on the lugs (22, 24, 26 and 28) into wedging engagement with respective edge portions of the apertures while moving the spring clip (20) into latching engagement with a transverse edge portion of one of the apertures. Flange portions on the lugs are simultaneously positioned beneath respective inner surfaces on the skin (11) to complete the attachment of the door handle (18) to the skin (11).</p> |
