    Hi everyone,
    I had a question i couldn't really find anyone who has posted about this issue before, but I was looking for some advice on how to fix my passenger side suicide door handle.

    The door closes normally and latches, but when I want to open the door again I need to pull the lever forward a bit to reset some latch inside the mechanism.

    Has anyone had this issue before or is it just better to replace the mechanism?

    take the panel off and have a look. Maybe the cable has popped out of it's retainer.

    Thanks mate, I'll have to take it apart this weekend if I can grab some extra clips this week. I always seem to break half the damn clips when I take a panel off.
