Broken Door Handle

[mrheehee]

I tried to open the passenger door today (from the outside) and I heard a slight "click", heard something hit the ground and it won't open from the outside now.
I couldn't find the piece that broke off, but I'd like to buy what I need to fix it before I take it apart. I'm guessing it's the door handle itself - Can I buy one already painted white anywhere?

you sure it was not something falling inside the door?

The door handle most likly broken Common problem.

they only come Blk or chrome.

the rivits will need to be drilled out and you will need a extra lg rivit gun Harbor freight sales the rivit gun cheap.

If you would like a used handle LMK I will ship one to ya for shipping. heck I could spray bomb it white too LOL

Thanks for the fast help - I noticed an eBay seller that had metal handles - would that be an improvement?

Thanks for the offer of a replacement, I'll let you know - I guess I'm buying a jumbo pop-rivet gun....

Yeah, FMR is great.

Buy from him. All handles should be metal. The black ones are painted and the chrome ones are chromed.

I don't think I've ever seen a plastic handle. Even the oem ones were metal.
