Hi there, I have a 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix, with a broken inner door handle. I was wondering how do I replace it, without replacing the entire door. Any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Replace the handle or piece(s) that are broken.

Do you know or have you ever removed the door panel?

Got a junkyard near by?

I have taken off the door panel, however where the handle hinges, appears to be held in place by a rivet hinge. I was wondering if there was a special tool needed to remove the hinge, or will I need to replace the rivet pin? also the anchor for the handle is held in place by rivets to the door frame. Was hoping that the pin was only a pin, and not a rivet. Yeah, I have access to a pick your own part junk yard, but the same thing is awating me to remove that one as well. Anyways, thanks for your response.

Drill the rivets off and replace with nuts/bolts.

First time in 16 years of owning these cars that I've heard the inside lever breaking!:eek:
