Hey everyone!
When i close my driver door, i get two things happening: 1. the driver side mirror rattles like something is loose inside.
2. the door handle sticks open when it's hot outside. if you close the door it just bounces back open.
I am sure they are easy fixes, just didn't know if anyone else had experienced this.
The car is still a choice automobile (in my best Ferris Beuller voice)

Yeah the handle on the outside of my passenger side door is stuck open. I'm thinkin about spraying it with some wd-40. I'm just too lazy to get up and do it.

Haven't had this personally, but I know there were some threads on here about the same issues.

There's a thread in here about it , you can do a search. The people who have taken their cars to the dealer say the whole handle has to be replaced and since the color has to match they have to be ordered. They say that using WD-40 or other tricks won't work ...

Take it back to the dealer service department, after all the mustang will still be under warranty.

Both my door handles would stay stuck out. I took it into the dealer and they replaced the entire door handle assembly on both sides- problem solved and Ford picked up the tab on warranty. As far as the mirror problem, I don't know what it could be, have that checked out when you take your car in to get the door handles replaced.
