How do i fix it on my own thanks

INterior or exterior handle?

epoxy and prayers bro

exterior handle

epoxy is too weak. Gotta find a new one.

I have power locks, so I'm not sure what yours looks like from the inside, but here's how I changed mine. Pop off the interior door panel. Make sure the window is up. Peel the plastic back so you can stick your arm in. Use a 12mm (I believe) small socket wrench or crescent wrench to undo the bolt/screw from the inside. It's just slightly above and to the left of the key hole (if you're looking from the inside). take the clip off of the part that has the 3 wires connected to it that inserts into the back of the lock (if you have that). Take the 3 screws off that hold the interior handle to the door. Now take the torx screws out of the "lock" mechanism down on the side of the door. This is the part that actually latches to the car to keep the door from opening. Careful when moving this as there is a gasket attached to it. Now remove the screw/bolt from the end of the handle (on the side of the door as well). You should now be able to remove the whole handle assembly with a little bit of jiggling.

I wouldn't bother doing this until you have your new handle since you'll have to put it all back until you get one. :)

Good luck

SO far only one junkyard got one in houston, black, ONE for $75. Is this a ripoff or what?

ya thats steep especially a used one. You can get one new from satan here for $80 i have a extra passenger one i sold my spare drivers one for $35 shipped if you look around you might find one but since its such a common problem they get snatched up real quick.(anyone need a passanger handle brand new email me) i think satan should do a recall on our door handles happens to everyone

godamit i live in the 3rd larget city in the country and not one fucker has a eclipse?! wtf!!!!!!!


i am NOT paying $75 for a used piece of shit plastic. I can't afford this shit.

I will drive around with my car fucked up before I do that.

I'm pissed.

Mine broke a year ago on my talon. Snapped right off just opening the door. Anyways.... Havent fixed it. Not noticeable to the normal eye, but a hassle because I either have to leave the window cracked so I can reach in and open the door or I have to open it from the passenger side. Oh well. $80 is alot of money, but even if I were willing to pay it that things gota be a bitch to replace.

Ya im fucking PISSED. Cause now it's gonna interfere with my fukin graphics too now. They overlap over the door handles. I also gotta replace 2 new tires today to, that's another $400. I hate my car.

I am days from selling this fucker. I been saying that for months now. Seriously.

Its not that bad. I just had to replace both of mine. The most expensive part is the handle. You can put it in yourself. It took me 2 hours to do the first one, but it only took me 20 minutes to do the second one. :)

SHAVE IT, SHAVE IT!

no, im just kidding. a handle is small enough that you should be able to have it shipped from a parts yard pretty much anywhere in the country in less than a week. look on the net, maybe dsmtrader.com for one. i guarantee you could get that shipped to you overnight for less than $75.

i dont want to pay $75 that's the point.

EHH! You are wrong my friend... I got epoxy and its help for more then 5 months :D I found some REALLY strong shiet

when my door handle broke i drove around for a while before i got the cash to repair it.....just had to open the drivers door via passenger side.....made it real unnoticeable, I would make it look like i was fucking with something on the passenger side and open it then, then just walk around haha) I got the peice from a mechanic for 40 bucks....unpainted, black, have yet to get it painted though

if you use 2 ton epoxy, that will be more than strong enough. like the description, it takes 2 tons to break it. if you dont wanna do that, go to a boat parts store and they sell a resin kit made by West System. my father makes his own kayaks and those things take alot of abuse and still hold strong. if you want any info on it, email me at aemrs@hotmail.com

wow I'm going to try epoxy first then. can't hurt wasting ten bucks compared to regular price replacement. Thanks alot guys. *raises beer

if you lay some fiberglass cloth down and put the resin over it, you will have one strong mutha!

Do I have to glue this with the handle taken off the door, or did all of you do this method with the handle still on? Thanks

you might be able to do it with it on, but i wouldn't try it... you might end up epoxying it to your car or something by accident

mine broke off last summer too. i had my autobody hookup fix it for 60 bucks. he had to order a whole new unit and paint it.

yeah my fuking passenger door handle broke last night.. i think one of my frat's little stupid pledges broke it on accident.. i hope they can fix it in one day cause i sure as hell don't know how to take apart the door.

Haha Brynden is right. Took me damn near an hour for the first handle and 20 minutes for the next. Of course my bigass hands didn't help much.

It counldn't be THAT hard to find a door handle. I had mine for sale forever. I sold for $40 and bought some silver ones for $40. :)

Replace 2 tires cost $400? You just got those 205/40 ones don't you? Shit I thought they were like $80-90 a piece.

I was $300 for 2 tires. And no they are no where near that cheap like u said. It's a weird tire size. Plus they are z-rated, not h-rated.

205/40 is cheaper than 215/45 usually. You can get the kuhmo 712's z-rated for 80 bucks a piece I think. Check it out. Of course Toyo will be a lot more though...

Hey Mike did you see Corbin's post about door handles? I believe in general go check it out!
