The invention relates to an external opening handle support mounting pre-hanging structure. The structure comprises a vehicle door outer plate and a handle support and is characterized by further comprising a pre-hanging rubber mat. A front matching hole and a rear matching hole are formed in the vehicle door outer plate. The handle support is provided with a through hole corresponding to the front matching hole, a limiting part is arranged on the portion, close to the through hole, of the handle support, clamping feet are arranged on the rear end of the handle support, the pre-hanging rubber mat is in fit connection with the limiting part of the handle support, the edge portion, close to the front matching hole, of the vehicle door outer plate is clamped between the pre-hanging rubber mat and the matching portion of the handle support, and the clamping feet penetrate through the rear matching hole to be matched with the edge portion, close to the rear matching hole, on the vehicle door outer plate. Mounting pre-hanging of the handle support on the vehicle door outer plate can be effectively achieved, assembling of the handle support is facilitated, the problems of difficult assembling, poor assembling and the like caused by insufficient metal plate manufacturing precision can be effectively avoided, assembling efficiency is improved, the abnormal sound generated between the mounting bolt and the vehicle door outer plate and the handle support can be avoided, and the use comfort of a user can be improved.
