Has anyone replaced door handles recently? With out going into too much background, I changed both the exterior and interior handles. Now, with the door panel on, I can't get the door open from the inside. Is there an adjustment somewhere in the door that will take a little slack out of the rod connecting the handle to the unlocking mechanism?

on mine the metal failed and I had to replace it (twice). The little tab starts to bend away so you have to pull harder and it bends more until it wont work at all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) if you remove it and look very closely (where it pivots on the back side) at how it works and you operate it you can see it if it is broken. I got used ones but I believe I have seen new ones foe sale, not cheap but not 40 years old either. Cleaning the latch mechanism helps but make sure you lube it well.
