Hi Tony,

Like you, this has happened several times to me too. I have a 2005 hatchback. If it's the same the handle sit inside a long piece of plastic trim.

The only thing I can suggest is to try and repair the trim. I used a hot glue gun to glue the threaded fasteners back into there slots and reinforce with more glue. 

I did mine about 6 months ago and it is still holding. Don't over tighten the nuts holding the trim on. 

The only other caution is, don't let anyone else open the tailgate. Its an inconvenience, but at least you can be careful with it.

Hope this helps.

Peter.

It will be ABS or PP A good epoxy will do the job, if you can leave it of the car for 24 hours to fully cure
