Dent Dr removed door pannel, now the door wont open from inside!

I went to dent doctor to get a dent removed from the door, apparently Minis have a sound deadening material on the inside of the door skin which makes removing dents hard, he was cursing the Germans build quality for hindering his job

Anyways,

He removed the door panel to do this, and now the door will not open properly from the inside, it takes about 10 pulls before it finally lightly pops the door open and opens fine from outside...

I could take it back, but he is just going to do what I'm going to do, just more hassles...

Any ideas on what to look for when I remove the door panel? The handle no-longer sits flush it sticks out about 1-2mm from flat against the door...
