I've just got a 2016 Superb and within 4 hours of collecting it the passenger door handle was sticking out.  A Google search brought me to this thread.  I found the YouTube video linked to above quite hard to understand.  As an update for anyone else who lands here with this problem, this YouTube video explains the handle removal much better in my opinion.

So this is what I did to mine, glued in a strip of plastic to the backplate. This moves the handle slightly forward allowing the hook to grip again. Been 6 months with No issues and helped a few people who did the same on a facebook forum.

 

Thanks for this. After another pop out, I have copied this.

Cut an old credit card up, glued with gorilla glue and refitted.

Hopefully that will sort for the foreseeable.

Spoke too soon. Did not work. Handle stays in, but does not pull the lock open. Will try adding more to the stack and then maybe heating and bending.

Chap in Scandinavia seems to sell a mod / metal plate which is the same intended effect as the glued and stacked plastic addition but in metal. 50 dollars is a bit steep...
