I’m helping SB914 get his passenger door handle to work. The interior pull works fine; the exterior pull will not work unless I push in on the door first.
Took the handle out; it’s ok There’s not a lot of adjustment for the mechanism and i’m Trying to not remove it. Anyone else had this problem ? Attached image(s) |

Your door looks like it needs to be adjusted. Sounds like the latch isn’t lining up and it is binding.

Your door looks like it needs to be adjusted. Sounds like the latch isn’t lining up and it is binding. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) First adjust the door at the hinges so you've got a good edges alignment at the top & bottom, as well as even gaps at front & rear. 2nd clean the handle & make sure it's operating properly then reinstall it (you may want to make sure that phillips screw is tight - it may have been rebuilt, or maybe just the rivet popped-off/broke & the PO fixed with the screw, which may not hold properly & be causing the problem (see replacement options below)). 3rd your can tweak the adjustment at the striker, after the handles & linkages are all in & adjusted properly, & after the door itself is adjusted properly at #1 & #2 for the handle. If it still isn't working properly after all adjustment ends up being a defective outside handle, then SB914 may want to get either a new genuine or repro handle - & it looks like a new resto/repaint - so IMHO go original, since they're better for the money.
