Need help with door handle.

[Frenchy906]

Ok everyone… more specifically @rugedraw… my lady friends daughter tried opening the passenger door, angrily, and pulled on the front of the door handle and the two pieces of the door handle separated… is this fixable… or does it need to be replaced?

If it needs to be replaced, can I get some help with how to do that?

Thanks in advance.

If you open the door there is a rubber grommet handle height facing the rear of the vehicle. If you pop that out you can get access to the set screw that keeps the handle in place. I think it's just a phillips tip. Allowing you to remove the handle may help you get a better look at what's going on. Might be able to pop that peeve back in

Thank you!!! I was hoping there was an easy way to get to it. If there wasn’t, I was going to go for a diagram of how to remove it all.

I appreciate you buddy.

Pshew… well, if it comes down to it… it’s only $20 to replace the door handle for me. That makes me feel better if we can’t fix the one.

Man, I've never seen someone have to take apart their vehicle more often that you. Not sure if removing the window motor is necessary, but attached is everything PTS shows in reference to the door handle replacement.

That should not have broken like that.

I noticed that mine is getting loose after 3.5 years. Seems like a design issue. In all my years, I don’t recall any door handles coming loose after a few years or ever for that matter.

In this instance, it’s not my vehicle lol.
