It already sorta has a bend like 2" from the end. Not the middle..

i am thinking i will pull my handle later today and see if i can get it fixed its really tiring having to go open the door for people since they dont know how to reach the outside handle and open the door themselves lol my friend also has a 95 yukon found out today he is having the same problem guess ill take care of that 1 too.... he also needs a tailgate handle.... is there anything different about the tailgate handle then the regular outer door handles?

Thanks guys!!

This was very helpfull!! I Just picked up a 96 Tahoe and none of the 4 doors will open from the inside and 2 of the handles are broken off. I did find the hidden child locks were in "Locked" position on the rear doors, but this was the exact question I had about both front doors. I'm going to try the rod bending and adjusting and maybe replacing them, plus a couple of the handles. Hopefully my next post will be good news. Although, my wife does like that I have to let myself out and then come around and open the door for her whenever we take it somewhere... LOL... I'll let you guys know how it goes. Thanks again!!
