   Hi,
   
   My driver side exterior door handle is very loose when i pull to open very little tension and when pulled to opened barely manages to retreat back when released. I guess there is some spring or something that i can change or worst case i will swap the whole door handle with the rear doors handle if it fits? Have anyone changed spring on a 5 doors saxo's door handle, any tips how to do it what does the spring look like pics links so when i disassemble the door to know what to look for.
   
   Thanks!

   Found this image so i see the springs but how to change them without drilling the two points where the handle is attached to the door from the outside?

   Its easier to get another handle(complete unit)from the scrapyard & replace it.
