The exterior door handle trim fell off the rear passenger door (and the front one feels looser than those on the driver side). Looks like is should just snap back on, but isn't working. How is this re-attached? Thanks

Hi cmfalken, Thank you for the donation. The trim is clipped on and if it cannot be attached securely, the clip "A" in diagram is either weak, bent out of position or broken off.
