The inside door handle of my Boxster is slack and drops a little. It can be moved about 1/4" before the tension zone where pulling on it opened the door lock. Because of the drop, the car thinks I am pulling open the handle so sometimes I have to push in the handle to remove the key, I have to push in the handle to close the doors, and the door doesn't close with the remote (since the door lock is dropping).

Is there a way to adjust the door lock so that the slack is taken up?
