The outside door handle on my 91 is loose and going down the road it flaps. It is really getting annoying and I'd like to fix it. Has anyone done this? I'd tend to believe it must have a return spring or something that pulls it tight against the door to keep it from flapping. The handle works fine other than that. Thanks.

You could always go "Dukes of Hazzard." Just whip the handles off, roll the windows down, and weld the door shut!
 






Yeah, but the doors of the General Lee weren't 4 feet off the ground. LOL.... and damn if I'd try the 'hood slide'. :) ...ouch!
 






I have this same problem w/ my 92. Need a fix for the problem. Help us.
 






My rear passenger door handle does this too! If anyone scraps up the thread please post it
 












Brian,
Thanks for finding those threads. Hopefully we can get our door handles fixed.
 






If any of you end up needing new ones, I have two good black handles and assemblies off my wrecked '92
 






My outside door handle is loose too. Thanks for the above links.

JDraper, I need a handle and an assembly. Are they universal? If not, it's my front passenger door. Thanks
