My front passenger door handle has just come loose when opening it from the outside. When the handle is pulled, it pulls the left side of the assembly out of the door. I opened the panel from the inside and I cant tell if a part is missing or if something is cracked. I took the best pictures I could through the tiny hole in the door. I can get access to the inside through the bigger opening on the left but I have no idea what parts I am missing or how to fix this. Has anyone else run into this problem or knows what needs to be done to repair the handle?

you're missing the 10mm bolt that holds the door handle in place
that little access hole you drew will let you get to where the bolt goes.... look at the bottom of the door, see if the bolt is sitting there.... otherwise go get a new one

to prevent removing the entire door carrier assembly (the big black plastic thing), take out the speaker and look through the hole to see if you can see the bolt.... fish it out with a magnet if you need to
otherwise, if you must remove the door carrier assembly, you will need to lower the window enough so that it meets the 2 square access covers at the middle of the door, in order for you to bolt the glass... you must remove the glass before you can unbolt the carrier assembly

Thanks for the info. I tried reach down into the door already but I couldnt find anything. I will try and remove the speaker and see if I can get the bolt back that way. Im assuming the bolt goes into the smaller hole in the middle of picture 3 right?
