Mods or improvements to inner door handles?
Anybody? I'm on my 3rd driver and need to replace it here before I lose functionality altogether. This is such a stupid design by GM, I can't believe there's nothing better out there! Whatcha got?

Re: Mods or improvements to inner door handles?
A problem so common Advance Auto Parts keeps them in stock on a shelf of their generally lame inventory. Are you saying the replacements are wearing out, too? I was under the impression they were an improved design. I've replaced both front door handles on my Suburban and so far so good. First it was the passenger side, but I hardly haul a passenger and if they bumped the door with their shoulder it would open. I'd forget till I had a passenger. My son helped me build a deck last summer so I finally replaced that one. The driver side got funky and within a half dozen times opening (or less) it wouldn't work at all. That got fixed right away, over two years ago and so far so good.

Re: Mods or improvements to inner door handles?
I'd look into other areas of the door to address why they keep breaking...or lay of the roids?

Haha I guess I'll have to do that! specifically what areas should I check out? Nothing else has ever been taken apart on the door and as far as I can tell, is completely functioning as it should.

Re: Mods or improvements to inner door handles?
My guess is you have a bent rod, therefore requiring further motion to open the door. Also spend some time with the lithium grease where the parts move and touch.

Re: Mods or improvements to inner door handles?
also check your door bushings. if they are bad/going bad door will sag making it hard to pull thus breaking the interior door handle.
