Default Door buttons

Am I the only one to have problems with the door push buttons?

On my car, the window glass is exactly in line with the mechanism for releasing the door catch. This meant that every time I pushed the door button in, it would not return until I lowered the window. (Nearly always) When I looked at the door catch mechanism the lever to open the door doubles back on itself. So I have cut off the double back part of the lever and linked the rod to the bit that is left. The result is that the door mechanism is easier to operate and it is no longer in line with the window. It is also on the correct side of the glass so no convoluted twisted piece of rod to connect the button to the lever. The only downside is that now it has a maximum travel of 10 mm. I am looking to have a new aluminium button and housing made which will allow any amount of travel up to 30mm. The housing will follow the curve of the door. It will in the foundry next week.
Any comments please?
