Rooster67 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 My exterior door handle cracked and broke off. Has anyone had to replace one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiBumBrian Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Easy schmeezy. Remove interior door panel, two screws and a plastic pin holding actuating rod. 10-15 mins tops. 5 bucks at JY or around 20 new.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djratlif Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I did mine last week, took about 25 mins because I forgot how I did the other. The passenger side only took 15 minutes the first time. Be careful if your door panels are getting soft/old. The push pins ripped through the particle board on my passenger side on about 4 of them.

Slartibartfast Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I bought a plastic one off Rockauto, which was marked for a Sentra (they swore the part # was the same) and didn't fit until I switched mounting plates with my old one. Then the other handle snapped and I replaced both with new metal ones from eBay, which bolted right up. The install's not too bad when you've got the right part. I think I spent more time fighting (and then repairing) the fiberboard panel than I did on the door handles. IIRC I ended up rolling the windows down to remove the panels, rolling them back up to get at the handle, then rolling them down again to put the panels back on.
