Replace the handle assembly.

I'll check mine when I get home. I've never noticed before. I guess thats cuz I'm normally in the driver seat . It's not difficult to take of the door panel and give it a look though. Maybe and easy tighten or something.

It looked to me like your car had leather inserts on the door cards which were not available on 2003's if I recall. If you or whoever owned the car before you upgraded the door cards maybe they messed something up with the door handles in the process.

Yes i have full leather interior but i dont see how that would affect the handles? Previous owners put it in

I have this problem aswell on my right front door. Be careful, one time when my door didn't close properly it went up during driving. The handle gets stuck if you don't push it back yourself.

Today I found my handle on the outside faulty aswell, it seem like something has been detached inside. I will try to remove the inside doorpanel today and see if I can solve those really annoying issues!

or you can try spraying wd-40 or something similar on the mechanism from the inside, it worked on mine.

I've fixed both of my issues this evening. It didn't take more that 30 minutes to fix.

The first issue with my outer handle was caused by a wire that was detached from its place. See image 1. It's supposed to look like image 2.

The other problem with my inner handle was caused by a spring that had jumped out of its place. See image 3.
