Default Door handle slack

The door handle on the drivers side has a bit of a slack.. It looks loose, sloppy and sometimes it hangs a bit. Want to tighten the wire abit, and maybe tighten the handlle mounting a bit somehow aswell..
Anyone done this before?

If you pull the door panel off, you'll likely find the plastic or metal clip broken or missing. It holds the cable tight to the door panel. I'm removing my passenger side inner door panel this upcoming week to replace the window switch surround. I'll snap a pic and post it for you when I get to it.
