Bill,
you're going to have to see what's bad first. Usually everything is worn and multiplys the problem. The handles themselves bell out and the shaft the goes into the handle wears in it's holder. Not one of Dodge's great moments in engineering. I remade the shafts oversize on mine and bored the assemblys to match. I don't know if Vintage has the whole assembly.

You may also have a broken spring in the lock and link. (The part with the hook that you can see from the door's edge) It should be hard to push it up with your fingers, if not, your spring has "sprung". The hook wears on these too. I think I still have NOS passenger side lock and links. $75.00 + shipping if your interested.

If you have any more ?'s ask and I'll help if I can. Kevin
