As the title, my drivers door handle is very hard to open. I can take a video if necessary.

Any ideas or possible cures?

Thanks in advance

Mike

there was a thread on here just a few days ago, had a youtube vid on it aswell.

Something about tightening up a screw on the door.

Just a follow up question guys, would this problem make the door harder to shut also?

 

[craigyjoe]

from what i can remember,before doing this it was just a case of a "hard to open door"

With mine the handle is hard to open.. but also it is harder to shut compared to the other door..

Mines a bugger to shut i found it's normally the door rubber's catching where the latch is
