This is driving me crazy!

[Phoenician_07]

I have search high and low all over the internet and maybe I’m just not good at wording things but I’m looking for some kind of fix for the interior door grab handle. Not the Oh S*** handle above and not the handle to open the door the one right behind the window and door lock controls. Over time from grabbing it to shut the door it’s falling off.

Has anyone came up with a fix for this instead of replacement? Much appreciated folks

Lay off the roids, tell the kids to "chill the **** out", or if you are...………. (not trying to be an ass)….. Big? then try closing it underhanded.


Just so were clear, you are talking about this?

Not the first guy with this problem. There are threads on it. Keep searching. Try door panel repair , etc.

Yes!! That’s the handle

I will keep searching, out of all the repetitive threads I would think this one would have the most but guess not.

I am big but I close my door by grabbing the top of the door and try not to slam my fingers... risky I know but I’ve always done it.

My wife is the one slamming the doors even the bottom half of the panel has come off the door I’m just waiting for it to fall off one day.

There are 3 and 1/2 thousand youtube videos on door panel removal. Have you ever taken it off (probably for speaker install)? There is a bolt at the bottom, that might not have gotten reinstalled? The switches pop right out. I don't recall how the handle is attached without looking, but a little flat head for the lock, switches, and door open handle, then a 7mm socket will get the door panel off in a minute. I want to say there are bendable tabs for it.

Could try lubricating the hinges, to make sure its as easy as possible.

Maybe take the chivalrous route and open /close her door for her. Or a "no girls allowed" sign?

Try using armrest as your search both here and otherwise. Two guys I can think of that may know best @95escahoe @Ryan Buck
Pretty sure it is bolted through the door panel from the back.

Just replace the armrest it unbolts
