Outer door handle?

[Doward]

Anyone else have a problem with the outer door handle being loose?

When I open the door from the outside, the trim around the handle will lift out like 1/8"-1/4"... it's ugly.

Any ideas how to tighten it up?

It's actually just two bolts. Roll up the window and take off the inner door panel... I can't recall but I think I had an easier time using a crescent wrench.

Yep, same problem with my car... just tightened the two bolts that hold the handle to the door.

I had this problem too, actually made my stock alarm not disengage when you unlocked it from the driver's side without putting pressure against the handle when unlocking!

I had this happen to me on the passenger side. When I went to tighten the bolts I found that the threads on the inside of the handle had stripped out so I replaced the whole thing.
