    One other thing, I was told that one of the reasons this occurs is when your hand slips off the door handle while opening and the handle springs back. So the door handle non slip tape (thread by VCrossfan) prolly helps prevent this from happening.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    I'm not sure if slipping has anything to do with it. Mine is just worn out a lot. I just tried to open the door handle and was looking down the glass to see if it's sliding off or not. It took anywhere from 10 to 20 tried for it to slide off the rod and I never let the door handle slip.

    Actually, I got the parts numbers from rowhard's how to...Funny thing now I will have to follow his thread to fix it..Thank ya rowhard that's just one of the ways this forum gives back more than it cost to be a site supporter.

    Mikemol, my mechanic buddy is the one that suggested the possible cause for this part to fail was snapping back the handle over the years. As far as I know it's just and old age thing.
