lol this has happened to me except it was the coldest day last winter. i have been to the junkyard several times in search of a new one but it seems to be a commonly broken part because they were all gone. i have a flap of duct tape i affixed to it, so now i just pull the tape and the door opens right up.

Yeah, they all will eventually break...but easily replaced...Ebay usually has a plentiful supply.

Twice I've replaced mine from the Stealership. Give them your vin # and they'll order it. It'll arrive color matched.

Usually about 100 bucks!, but that was a year ago.

Mine have never broken, instead of replacing yours just buy my whole car

That happened to me too I just got a new door handle to replace it

Mines been like this for over a year. I keep meaning to get around to fixing it, as it's esp. annoying when it rains or you have your hands full, but I do enjoy the mystified nature of anyone else who tries to open the door.

One of these days... haha
