Default Door handle rattle

Does anyone know how to fix the door handle on the outside so when you close the door it doesn't rattle or sound like an old pile of **** door? My friends '95 Z28 and my wife's '00 TA have this sound to them, like when you shut the door, the handle kind of jingles/rattles for a second.

Is there a new spring to buy for the handle or something? Any help would be great, thanks!

Maybe you could take off the door panel, and see what's causing the rattle. That's where I'd start. Shove some foam in there if you have to.

It's just the handle on the outside, not the door, it's like a spring for the handle return is bent or worn out. I will look on the inside anyways to see what's there.
