The rattling of your window is probably due to a combination of the glass coming loose from it's mounts on the regulator inside the door and the weather stripping being worn or maybe gone from the frame. Pop off the door pannel and make sure the bottom of the glass stays flat against the mount when moving up and down.
If the doorhandles are so tight that you keep breaking them your door latch and tall the linkage needs to be traken apart, cleaned and relubed. If you are having your passengers grab the plastic handle and yanking it, just slap a few of them and they will quit
