Sticking Door Handles

Problem

Rear door handles tend to stick open, so that you can't shut the door when it's open.

Solution

The answer is to lubricate them... Spray some WD40 up inside the handle and open/close it lots...

alternatively: remove the rubber plug on the inside of the door (at the same height as the handle),spray lubricant towards the handle pivots. Mr Sheen is a good non staining lubricant for plastic items.
