Shoutout to all, and a door handle question...
Hey, all fellow "Xers"! Haven't been around much lately, due to work and remodeling, but caught up today again. My passenger side door handle is feeling quite spongy as of lately, wondered if anybody could help me out with what part I need before it actually breaks. I think I remember seeing "door handle carrier"? Opens fine from the inside, but the outside is quite soft. Any help would be appreciated. Just wanted to give everybody a shout out, gives me good feeling knowing whats happening with all the fellow enthusiasts out there! Keep the "X faith"! Oh, BTW, I do love posting pics!! Just a couple shots out the front door...

Yup, usually the outer door handle carrier about to give.

The "outside door handle fix" thread will give you lots of good info to diy.

Nice looking X!

Hey Matt your Estoril is looking gorgeous as always!

I actually only did my passenger front carrier so far in the 2.5 years I've owned the X, it still gets sticky sometimes (I didn't buy an OE part, but a higher quality aftermarket or so I thought), but the other 3 are holding tough.

The OE drivers side carrier I replaced last spring already went kaput. So out of spite I bought a URO brand carrier on Amazon for a replacement.
