Hi i just noticed today that the driver side exterior door handle is slightly loose and wiggles a bit but its still functional...the passenger side is not having the same symptom...is this an easy fix...doi have to take apart the doorpanel for this?

Check the internet and run a search. Parts diagram is here 2010 Mazda RX-8 FRONT DOOR MECHANISMS and the diagram is attached. Discussion on another RX8club thread is here (found by running a google search) https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-tro...handle-161709/

Thanks! Well got to open everything...cause my exterior driver door handle completely came off today and i needed to see whas going on the inside...to some it all up when i continually use the interior door latch to open the driver side the arm links connecting to the exterior door handle moves to eventually comming off its swivel...i dont even think the arm links for the external handle should move if im just using the internal handle...looks like something isnt lubricated well..

My passenger side external handle came off also. What did you have to replace to fix it??? I have a 2008 RX8.
