 Hi everyone just wonderin if anyone knows what the problem is with my passenger side handle?

When people try to get out of my car they seem to never be able to get on on the 1st attempt!?

You have to pull the handle all the way back as far as it can go before it opens! its kinda like a bit of elastic that his lost its ping! lol (although it does go bk to where its supposed to be!! lol) Any way...it does this wether the engine is off or on..im going to ask bout it when it goes in for a service and see if they have any ideas of what it is and how i can fix it. but thought id write a message on here to see if anyone on here knows how i can solve this! lol
It isnt too much of a problem...but its a bit of a pain!! lol

Thanks every1

 Sometimes the handle on the inside of my passenger door does not go back. This stops the outside handle being used at all.
I just push the handle back in and all works fine.

Not sure if that helps?

 If its that bad, either a) Take it to Snows for them to look at, or b) don't carry passengers and save weight and fuel!
