Re:door handle

Mine's done that a little too. I thought it was caused by lightweight sheet metal in the door skin.

I'm interested in what you find out when you go in.

Re:door handle

its easier for me just to do it in my garage than take it in to the dealer.

Re:door handle

i popped the interior door cover off and guess what! the handle asm. is TIGHT. it's just the thin sheet metal door! all i can say is i hope the crap stays out of the inside of the door.
i will certainly not yank to hard on the door handles man that seems kinda flimsy.

Re:door handle

Mine does it too. Checked about 6 trucks on the lot before I accepted mine and every one did it on the front doors but not the back. Strange....

Re:door handle

Mine too, checked all my doors, it is mainly the driver's door. The back seem snug. Don't recall the front passenger. I am used to it now.
