Door handle getting a little sticky

[pnwadventures]

Nothing to do with temperature, but maybe dirty: driver’s side door handle works fine, but doesn’t retract fully sometimes; narrow leading edge might still be sticking out unless I push it in manually.

Anyone deal with this before? Just needs cleaning, or is it an actual fix item?

I've seen that once in a while, and more so recently (I assumed it was because of the weather).

Have you tried spraying the spring with a little bit of WD40?

There are a few stories of older model 3 where the door handle rubs the body a bit and therefore does not close fully.. so it can also be a warranty thing.
