Default Um, my door handle completely came off?

The handle you use to pull when closing the door... well I pulled it and the top part came right off, the bottom is still SOMEWHAT attached..... there's a green thing attached at the end, can't find anyway to get it back on as the whole portion it screws into came out along with the handle......

mmmm, should i just take it to the dealership, anyone one know if it's gonna cost an arm and a leg?

It sounds like the screws were loose. If the door panels had been removed before, the person who did it probably missed placing the 4 screws for the door handle. You need to pull the whole door panel out and screw it back into the door panel. Then after you put the door panel back on, screw the 2 screws in the door handle into the metal part of the door.

No camera for pics, and I didn't pull too hard, it always felt a lot more loose than the passenger side.... i didn't figure the whole thing would come off though

Take the panel off, push the green receiver back into its slot and then tighten all the screws. The receiver expands when tight.

Ah I think I got ya, because right now the green receiver just slides right in and out.... maybe if i pull on the tabs to make it snap in and stay tight.... im gonna go try it.

Well you were right, the green receiver piece pops right into the metal frame and then the screw goes into that.... unfortunately i put the green piece in facing the wrong direction, it's going to be hell to get it out now, snapped on tight.
