ML430 door problems

[naytis]

Hi all, i have a 99 ML430 and when i open the door it doesnt open until the very end of the handle is all the way out. sometimes even the door is unlocked, it wont open and i have to cycle the locks with the remote. is this a common problem and if yes how do i go about it.?

Hello naytis,
adjust clearance between handle and control lever with excentric adjustment screw. Access behind a removable black plastic cap in the door lock area.
All the best,
