tailgate handle rattle

My tailgate handle has play in it and rattles when I hit bumps. Would a new handle fix this?

could be a number of things -pull the inner plate off and take a look at the internals inside-could be a number of things loose inside-hate to see ya buy a new handle if it's the rods and connectors loose-ain't hard to pull the inner side off-post back what ya find
