Door Handle Broke Off

[Sammyzuko]

The passenger side dood handle broke off and I'm trying to decide how to fix it. I've read about people going to the dealer and paying around $150 to have it replaced. This sounds rediculously expensive to me since it's only a little plastic handle. Is this something that can be done fairly easily? I'm trying to find somewhere to order the handle. Any suggestions? I'm going to look at a DIY book and see if they show how to talk apart the door. Any help would be appreciated.

Forget it...I just traded her in for a M3

I'm in the process of doing this right now on the driver side. I already have the inside door panel taken off, and have to find a way to change the handle. Did you finish yours? How did you do it?

[Sammyzuko]

It was so difficult to do it I just decided to buy a new car.

hehe, is this the same sammyzuko in m3forums.com?

why not just keep both? : )

[Sammyzuko]

You're right! I probably should have kept both and used the sebring for winter driving, especially for the amount of money the dealer gave me for it.

no kidding... I thought about selling mine when we bought the corvette, but my father really liked it. So we kept it... and let my dad drive it.

Yeah, no way was I going to give it to a dealer... I had just paid over 30k for it, I wasn't going to hand it over 2-3 years later for 11k... it could be sold on the market for up to 17.

Lol... put some winter tires on the M3, you'll be fine. : )

hehe... is this forum dead, or what? : )
