    "Remember the Ford Falcon circa 86? The one where all of the handles would fall off the doors. I used to play, "spot the handles" with my sister looking for other Falcons."

    LOL...I had one!...a 79' XD. The fact that they were still dropping off through to the XF is typical of the DGAT.

    The fault was that assembled handle was held together by a weakly pressed end. I bought 2 and on the 3rd the automotive store had 200 on back order! I ended up drilling through the weak die cast stem, used a nut/bolt and tack welded the nut locked.

    They were the days.
