Sometimes when I hit a bump, it sounds like my passenger front door is loose. It sounds like it is moving on the part that keeps it closed (The copper colored thing) Anyway, now wind noise comes in and it's kind of loud at speeds above 30 mph. What can I do to tighten the door? The door seal looks in good shape. Thanks
 






It may be just the spring that keeps the door handle from rattling around broke. If the handle has a bit of really loose play in it before it actually opens the door, thats probably what your problem is. It seems to just happen with age.
 






how would that explain the wind noise though?
 






spring

Can that spring be replaced? If so, how, or do I need a new handle?
