passenger door handle late engage
I've WD-40'd the cable on our passenger side outside door handle, it definitely works easier. But, it only "engages" or opens the door if it it pushed/pulled all the way vertical. Is there an adjustment to make it catch earlier?
Right now, you pull up the handle and nothing engages -- unless you pull it Way up, then it opens fine.
thanks for any help.

i had the same problem and bent the metal in like one600 said, but eventually the plastic went bad again and almost "locked" me out of the car. my question is where can i buy the replacement plastic handles at? and has anyone made these out of metal yet? if so please post a link. i need these ASAP!!!
yes i already know mazda does not sell just the small plastic triangle handle but the entire door handle assembly which is like 300 a door. id rather not pay that if dont have to.

you can try Ramy...

He might be able to source just the handle piece itself, or he might be able to source some aluminum handles.
and yeah, while the FD door handles are astetically pleasing, they are junk quality(one of the things sacrificed to keep the car light, I'd imagine).

if anyone knows who the guy that makes the aluminum handles IS please let me know. my car comes out of the shop in a week and i want the new handles on there before i start driving it everywhere and get "locked out" AGAIN. i need both of them.

i myself need a new driver's side door handle, mine snapped off cuz it seized up and i put too much strength. i opened the assembly and WD-40'd some of the mechanisms in there but to no avail, i can only move the assembly by hand but using the handle from the outside is a no-go. gonna be opening up my door this weekend to see what gives. sent in a request to FDnewbie, hope they got em!
