If the handle is "well attached", then they are a PITA to get off even with the correct tool! It seems they are either one way or the other. If one is loose, I agree that "Gorilla Glue" doesn't work either.

I think Howard's set screw idea is a good one (he usually has good ones). The left rear door handle on my 55 Pat seems to fall off spontaneously on occasion, so the next time it does, based on Howard's suggestions above, I'll try drilling and tapping for a set screw and post the results. I have a couple of extra handles, so I can afford to experiment some.
