You can try to tighten them if you want. Take the door panel off, put the window all the way up, and look inside the door. You will see two "speed nuts" there. Tighten those.

If that doesn't work (and it probably won't) I had to get some door handles from the dealer last year, I think they were $30 a pop. But I only pay 10% above cost so I don't know how much they would charge you.
