Tighten the door handles?
Anyway to tighten the door handles (opening lever) easily or with little taking apart of the door? Anyone done this before? Over time they loosen up...

It is just one screw, loosen it and pull the handle open to remove the handle or tighten it to tighten/ reinstall the handle.

Every time I see your sig I think of Jim Carrey's line in The Cable Guy: "He who hesitates, ***********..."
Edit: btw, I'm not making fun. I love that movie.

It's easy to remove and tighten the door handles. Open the door and you will find a small rubber plug next to the handle. Remove it with your fingers. Then you will need a Torx 20 screwdriver. For the front doors a standard length will work but for the rear doors you will need at least a 6" screwdriver to get to the screw.
It is just one screw, loosen it and pull the handle open to remove the handle or tighten it to tighten/ reinstall the handle.
