[DeTomaso] Passenger door handle question

[Charles McCall]

Ok, i'll buy that. If you abuse it, it'll break. Trying to open a locked
door will break it. If you go all Animal on it, then the years will take its
toll and it'll break. But if you open it normally, it should give years of
happy service?

****Gary Hall's technique is obviously gentler on the opening mechanism, but
that doesn't necessarily mean that the contrary is rough enough to cause

been a lot of noise about them over the years



It's common enough that the vendors had to tool up to produce new pull tabs,
many years ago.  They wouldn't do that just for the fun of it.

It all has to do with how aggressive you are when you open the door.  If
you're always thoughtful and gentle with it, the pull tab may outlast you.
But if you're Mongo, it'll break.
