Default Back door wont open on first pull

i've been having a problem with my rear driver side door since i purchased my LX. at first it took 2 to 4 tries to get the door open so i pulled the panel messed with it saw that it had something to do with a little piece of plastic that was worn out on the actual lock. the plastic gave it a little extra lift when you pulled on the door handle. so i ran a piece of wire in place where that plastic should be and it worked fine but the handle got harder to pull. just wondering if anybody had a problem like this and if so how to fix it thanks.

i just got too frustrated and decided to go to the junk yard and get a slightly used lock. door works perfect now. got a bunch of little goodies too, saw an LS go for $175, got there too late...

It's fairly difficult to service parts in the handle mechanism, your better off keeping the mechanism complete and swapping the whole bit.
