Door handle starting to come off

So as the title says, my door handle is coming off. Whenever I open the door it pops out a little bit, but it goes back in if I push it.

I've attached a pic. Hopefully you can see the problem.

Is there an easy to fix to this?

Thanks in advance.

There are two bolts that secure it to the door, accessible from inside once you remove the door panel. Tighten them.

What the guy above me said. Please note that the 2nd gen door handles ARE 20+ years old and there is a piece on them that can break. You can generally find a used one from the forums for $25-$30 or at a junkyard for about $5.

Welcome.
