Description of the problem | I got in my car and heard a strange noise outside. Looked and found that the smaller piece of the door handle had fallen off. I picked it up and got back in the car, would fix it when i got home, but the door would not close/latch. I was able to get the plastic piece back on the handle and was then able to shut the door and drive home. Luckily, this happened in a parking lot and not while driving down the interstate, as i believe the door would have flown open. |
