Not sure of the set screw fix. I used the proper tool for removal and 3 came off and have gone back on without issue but I too have 1 falling off due to the clip tab broken. did a enet search and was wondering if anyone has tried these.http://www.performancenowdirect.com/servlet/the-6804/Door-Handle-Interior-Retainer/Detail. a little pricy but so are certain vendors external handle clips. $90.00 +. someone mentioned new exterior clips on eby for $50. anyone tried these. I could use 1 rt frt 55 clipper ext handle clip,5 pwr window sw retainer clips and 1 interior door handle clip GOOD USED will pay reasonable + sp if anyone has. Due to the interior handle opening machined larger and at an angle at the bottom of the opening and such a thin shoulder there I dont think a set screw tightened against the shaft will hold for very long. Any thoughts?
