Subject:Re: Slider door (early version) outer handle getting loose

Quick note. There should be a (plastic?) bushing between the handle
and door at exterior. If not present, the handle tends to crack and
fail where it passes into the locking-opening mechanism housing. If I
recall, Alistair posted of this on his blog. Yes. Here's an image of
one he made and installed:
