Problem overview

Some BMW 750Li owners report experiencing melting issues with the driver side door panel, which may affect not only the door handle but also other parts of the panel. To address this problem, some owners consider replacement parts, such as a new door handle cover, to prevent further melting and restore the panel's appearance. For those comfortable with DIY projects, there are resources available to guide them through the replacement process. Others opt for temporary solutions, like using a cover over the door handle to mitigate damage. Some owners prefer seeking professional assistance from a body shop or an independent BMW shop to ensure a proper fix, despite the potential for additional costs. Additionally, to prevent similar issues in the future, some owners are advised to be cautious with substances like sunscreen that can damage the interior and to consider aftermarket parts that are more resistant to melting.
