#61346, "Changed door handle, still wiggles, now what?!?!?!?!?!"




          



Okay, I changed my DR side door handle this weekend and the whole thing wiggles. All my bolts are tight and I held it in place with my left hand while I tightened with my right. Fuckin thing moves about 1/16th of an inch in the very front where the lock is. What did I do wrong?

We I did my door handle a few weeks ago I thought I had all the bolts right enough, but the handle assembly was a little loose. I went back in and made sure the 2nd bolt (one that's hard to get to inside the door) was tight. It seemed like I had to tighten that bolt a lot to get rid of the play in the handle. Maybe it's because I was using a small 10mm wrench and it's hard to get on that bolt.

You probably have this done, but make sure the black gasket is on the back of the handle because that will take up some room eliminating some of the play.
