Very much appreciated the thorough explanation. Will be giving this a try until I can either fork $500 or find another way to fix it.

Very much appreciate you posting these, will be very helpful to me. So let me see if I got this right, you just applied a good heavy duty clear packing tape to the handle and body and by using a putty knife to first press agains the separation and then to the rest of the body and it's holding up for you. ?

Thanks for posting your solution. Wondering how difficult it is to remove the trim and trying something more permanent through there.

Having the exact same problem. Darn handle coming off the right side, been asking family members to be careful lifting it gently thinking in time I was going to fix it by taking off the trim off and tighten up some screws. Anybody thought about reaching out to Ford for a covered service replacement? I'm out of warranty but thinking they may still cover such a poorly design flaw.
