Anyways I went to Lowes and picked up a long piece of pretty stiff spring...(you will want to get the stiffer of the springs) for like 2 bucks and then I held the spring up to where the broken one had went and cut the new spring to fit each whole and then bent the ends of the spring to make the hooks to fit into the wholes and it was as good as new!
I did this about a year and a half ago and have so far had no issues with the replacement spring.

thanks for the tip, I'll add it to my list of to-do's!

Spring can be found at Pelican Parts for $4.75.
Part #: 999-522-015-00-OEM

I have the same problem, solved even cheaper than Velcro by wedging a piece of paper behind the door handle.
Only thing that is stopping me from taking off the door panel is that I have to disconnect the battery to prevent the door airbag to blow up in my face. Disconnecting the battery will make it necessary to get the code for the radio, everything becomes a project.

Try - Porsche Resetting Radio Codes

You have to download some Java components to get it to run. i think you also need the radio's serial number. Press and hold one of the buttons to display it

I had same reservation about opening my door panel and disconnecting battery

Has anyone used a smoke machine to find an oil leak?
