Abstract
An inside door handle assembly includes a handle rotatably held on a base to be secured to a vehicle's door and a knob rotatably held on the base. The base has first, second and third upright walls. The handle is disposed with respect to the first and second upright walls to cover the top of the second upright wall and the knob is disposed with respect to the second and third upright walls. The lateral movement of the handle is limited by the knob, thereby preventing the handle from becoming detached from the base.
