Door Handle -how to secure

Passanger door handle seems a little loose. How do I tighten it up? I know how to take door panel off but what next?

Usually, their is a sping that keeps the handle tight against a small rubber bumper. If the spring is broken, all you can do is replace the handle. Classic Ind. sells them fairly cheap. Good luck.

I agree. Check there first. The handle itself is held in place by two speed nuts which are accessible through the door panel.

Thanks. I think the speed nuts might be loose because I can still open the door but the handle "jiggles" and I can see the nut.
