Well, I got a call from my parents saying my passenger door handle was broken at the mechanic's. Now I remember why I always try to do my own work on my car.

...

Anyways, I'm thinking of getting some new handles, for both left and right. Ebay has these.

Any experience on these? Thanks.

They are all pretty much the same bro. What I would recomend is buying Azdaves reinforcement fix, you can glue back the broken one if you want(what I am doing, dont want to have to paint a new set of handles), with the steel insert in there, and it will be as good as new, or you can buy the new handles and just put the inserts in there, in any case you will be good for life with Azdaves kit. Im hoping I get mine in the mail today, have a "date" tommorow, and I'de hate to have to open her door from the inside :wallbash

After installing the kit, all the stress is pretty much going to the metal insert, and the plastic arc of the handle is just there for looks.

Great, thanks for recommending to buy it with no information on where to buy it at or the price.

Lol, well my driver's side is black for some reason, so I'd rather just get two primered ones and paint them.

I would not buy the ebay handles unless they are OEM. The cheap ones from China don't quite fit the curve of the door correctly.

I bought a pair of the cheapies to be sure my repair kit would fix those aftermarket handles too since the brilliant person who copied the OEM ones also copied the stress riser in the hinge area.

If your handle broke along the hinge area (99% of them break there) then my kit can repair it. This way you don't have to repaint or buy another handle.

Thanks, Dave. I just bought one.

Thank you.

Also, I just donated $5 of the sale to 2GNT. Thanks for the support.

Azdave the kit works great. I was able to pull it off, I fixed the handle, but putting it back in was a PITA!!!! I also some how placed the lock cylinder mechanism wrong and cant open the pass. door with my key from outside... Im too lazy to take the cover off and take a look... but i will eventually :P
