I guess your door handles are all in working order? if so, basically when you pull on your door handles, you will feel/hear a spring pop out of place and fall to the bottom of the door. that spring is used so that when you let go of your handle, it springs back into place. now that the springs are gone, when you pull on the handle and let go...it stays outward until you manually push the handle in. you'll know what im talking about one day lol jk

im on 3,

My rear passanger sticks out, you push it in and it springs out..

How gay is that..

I always wondered how to fix that shit.. Im tempted to fucking jbweld the rear ones in and just not use them. haha

Or shave the rear handles entirely. but shaving is kinda minitrucker.

I have that problem with my front driver door handle. What's worse is I heard the spring break when it did. There was breaking click kinda noise when I pulled at the door handle and the handle remained where it was instead of springing back in position. It bothered me for a couple of days but I've learnt to live with it.
