thats because you need to pull the door panel and repair the area....its probably ripped

and you are binding the handle trying to open the door and breaking them... the plastic are more than fine once the hinge is reinforced

You can unbolt the handle mechanism and put a large washer on both sides of the mounting location. Bolt it down tight and call it good. I've done both doors on one of my f150's and one on my other. No problems since.
