Same thing happened to me a month or two back. I purchased the repro non-OEM part from our host ($150 I think). When it arrived, I decided to just Switch out the trigger and the spring (it was a different configuration than Porsche). No one is going to verify whether the internal parts are original or not on my daily driver. Easy.

Anyway, whole job took about 2 hours with most of that being door panel take-off and reassembly (I've been inside the door multiple times). It was a Piece of cake, and I got to keep the original door handle, lock and gaskets. The repo is good quality and now I have a spare door handle if the original breakes in a decade or two.

I lubed the hinge with bearing grease (very lightly).
As Porsche repairs go, this was an easy job.
Cheers,
