Default Door pulls (interior) seem loose. Is it an easy fix?

Both doors seem to have the same issue. Whatever anchors the door pull to the door superstructure is loose so the door card flexes in. Easy fix?

it's just a sheet metal screw on the underside of the handle...

maybe the sheet metal receiving side of it stripped? it's easy to take off.

Could also be the strap on the inside of the door isn't properly in its slot in the door structure!

Pulling the door panel off is maybe a 15-20 minute job the first time, just make sure you get all the screws. If the screws all come out, and the panel can be pulled away from the door the tab is not in its slot... it locates the top of the pull to the door structure...

like they said the handle plastic piece is screwed into the sheetmetal. the doorcard itself might be broken, its just cardboard (at least on early car)


i had this problem yesterday so i fiberglassed the back of the door card in all the broken and potentially weak spots (door handle, bolt for the armrest, speaker hole) for some reinforcement. now they dont flex anymore.
