The hardest part to cure the issue will be getting the door panel off. Sometimes need to remove the seat to get it loose.

It does feel like its only just beginning to actuate the latch when you use the handles.

I'll head back out and fiddle with it while thumping around the area to see if I can bump it loose....If I have to take the door panel off while its closed I might just drive it into a lake and buy a q7 instead.
