I errantly purchased two new handles for a '96 driver's door and right rear door. I think they are the same handleas for '95. I should have investigaed my situation before ordering. One handle was just loose, the other I was able to repair. Maybe yours is repairable.

The symptom I had was that the handle did not provide enough action to trip the lever. If you look closely at the handle you will note that there is an inner pivot point. This is a plastic pin and it must be a sacrificial thing. So for a 2-cent part you have to replace a $80 handle. Why can't they sell replaceable weak links? I have just gone through this with a Nissan window regulator, too.

I replaced the plastic pin with a piece of cut off bolt and epoxie dit in place. I hope I never find out why they had to put that weak link in!

I would sell these handles if you need them.
