What broke you ask? My drivers side, and passenger side door handles, damnit. Has this happened to anyone else? Or do I just not know my own strength?

I guess I'll have to go to the dealer, eh? To get new ones?

lol. I don't know how you guys did that. Mine have lasted for 15 years. You guys must be yanking the hell out of them.

Camry_rider · 08-19-2004, 12:35 AM

Ive done it before.....go on ebay they are as common as pennys.

Speshull Droo · 08-19-2004, 01:09 AM

my driver's side inside one is busted.

Screw you all with intact door handles!j/k

My outside driver's side door has broken twice now.... Cheap@$$ plastic.... Just check out Ebay for replacements, shouldn't be more than $25-$30 with shipping.... And it is a PAIN to fix...

I replaced my drivers outside handle in July. $40 CDN for the part and an hour of my time to install. Local wrecker had a bunch - really good shape for used !

The interior ones have white stress concentration marks on them, so they'll go sooner or later.... I'll be epoxying those back together when they do fail.

I know this story all to well. My ex girlfriend broke my passenger door handle cause she tried to open the door while it was still locked

(does my car look like a ford escort?). I called her an asshole and laughed it off cause it was a stupid accident. Well about three weeks later I was getting out of my car and there was this loud snap, my door handle broke. All I heard was "now who's the asshole"

Ah good times, my ex is a dickhead, but so am I so we still get along well.

O shit let me stop rambling

Best bet go to a junk yard, thats how I replaced both of my broken handles
