The button itself does not stay in and it pops out on it's own and when I say out I mean way beyond where it normally will stay. the button rod can be pulled out totally or come flying out on its own. No visible way seen how to take off the plastic handle where the button goes. Do I have to replace the entire set up or what? 1995 bird .

The button should have a link to the pawl release lever, further back in the handle, past the plastic handle cover. I would look there to see if something has become disconnected.

Thanks injuneer! I did as you said, and in 3 minutes the rod was set back to where it belongs and the problem is solved.

Glad it worked for you ! ! !
