Re: Door Handle Help!
there are 2 10mm or 11mm bolts on the back its either these or the springs in the actual handle is shot. Does the entire handle come loose from the door or just the handle part you lift up?

Re: Door Handle Help!
Either the spring in the handle is bad or on of the 2 speed nuts (that hold the
handle to the door skin) are loose.
You need to take the door panel off aan check it out.

Re: Door Handle Help!
Ok, thanks guys, he really didn't want to take the door panel off, but we did and got the parts needed. I love reading these articles because I find answers to other issues I am having. I LOVE this car, but gotta remember how old it is!!
