Door handle drivers door. A little help from anybody that's fixed before would be appreciated. Inside handle operates. Outside handle does nothing also doesn't retract fully.

Heard a loud "snap" when shutting door last night and interferes with central locking.

Sometimes the doors wouldn't lock when using the key for example. That behavior has been for months so I've been expecting door handle failure for a while. I can pretty much repair anything so if it's possible to re-engineer and fix I will go that route. Example:

That's a "discontinued" part from an ice maker. The cam that operates the "is the bucket full" lever. Re-engineered to have a steel screw vs a thin layer of plastic.

I also want to fix the window operator on the driver door its 30% slower than all other windows so some feedback on the likely cause. Does it just need some proper lubrication or a new motor or what?

Since I have to take the door apart I want to fix both at the same time.

The door still operates properly and I can key lock/unlock but have for months felt some undue resistance when using the key. The outside door handle doesn't work but the auto down with remote or key does so for now I can enter using the inside handle. I need to fix before the remote would stop working or the key jams and I can't get in.

For the slow window it does just seem like its fighting resistance like worn rail or no lubricant. Any experience with lubricating bringing it back to life?
