but I needed some assistance from my garage buddy who got the angle grinder out
The big door handle decided to fall apart - What had happened is the bolt holding the thing which pulls the cables for both latches had come out (disappeared....) and come off.
In order to reattach the handle had to come off, and the screw holding it in to a captive nut on the inside was seized, so much butchery was needed.
Once back together again, I was able to find a suitable replacement proper bolt, washer and nut to re-establish the handle securing setup (left of handle)
Now the door handle feels more OEM than before, and I've learned something new about the van. :slayer:
