The other day I was opening my passanger door and noticed a little 3" rod that is bent on each end had fallen out. Ever since then the door handle has been really loose. Still does its job. But it rattles now. Anyone had this problem? I know where it goes, but it wont stay.... What's the trick? If you look up under the door handle you will see a thin metal rod that "springs" the handle back into place and keeps it from rattling.

Thanks
