'87 4kq: Is this what they mean by Team Doorhandle?

[Doug Hill]

On my 4kq the rear driverside doorhandle always seems to be the one that
fails on me(I have had to replace it twice now) the first time it did the
same thing as you described, the second time it just would get stuck and by
pulling the lever back and yanking on the door it would open. So, it would
apear that it is just the typical door handle woes.
