Door Handle .... Tighten???
Door Handle .... Tighten??? I have noticed that my driver's side door handle is a little loose. It is to the point where on the top right corner of the handle, the paint has worn off. I was wondering if there is any way to tighten it, or take the looseness out of it so that it doesn't rub anymore.....any ideas???

On my 95 Camaro both handles rattle. I looked at my 01 on which the handles do not rattle and are not loose and noticed a soft plastic insert that does not appear to be on the 95. The handles look identical otherwise. I'm thinking at some point the plastic insert has fallen apart and away. I have tried to get an answer about fixing this very junky situation on other boards with no luck.
I think I'll ask Dal Slabaugh if he can find some part numbers for the handle mechanism. I'd like to get around to fixing it but it would be good to get some more information first.

I recently took my door panel off because my handle broke completely. Mine rattles on the drivers side only, turns out is was broken because of the small pastic piece mentioned above was dried out and snapped, but also the rod itself looked bent so I think thats why mine rattles. Could be the same as yours.

When I bought my TA the handle on the driverside did the same exact thing. I had it fixed under warranty and I was told that the handle had wear which caused it to rub the paint off the corner. They replaced the door handle
