Abstract
A door handle assembling construction includes a grip portion with a base portion at one end and a case portion at the other end. The grip portion has an arm portion, and the case portion has a hole and a wall portion for receiving the arm portion. The wall portion includes a stopper portion, and the arm portion includes a corner portion. The grip portion is subjected to an urging force in the direction toward the case portion. Before an outside handle is installed to a door outer panel, the grip portion is pulled out of the case portion, and the case portion tilts relative to its position after the outside handle is installed to the door outer panel. The corner portion of the arm portion engages the stopper portion to temporarily hold grip portion. When the tilt angle is returned, the engagement is released.
