Hi folks, I’ve noticed that the outside handle on my door now slides away from the van and back again. It used to stay tight to the van door. Before I take off the door panel to inspect can anyone tell me how to tighten the handle correctly? Currently it is working normally I just want to fix it before it gets worse. I’ve also noticed that my door needs a little pull on this handle to open and I wonder if over time it caused the problem. The door used to pop away from the van a little when handle depressed. now it pops open a bit in the back but the front doesn’t move requiring the slight pull to open. Tips are greatly appreciated as this fix is not something I’m familiar with. Eric Caron 85 GL Auto Westfalia |
