| On a cold morning in february, outside driver's side door handle broke off during normal opening function. upon further investigation, it turns out that the entire handle is merely chrome-plated plastic, with pem nuts inserted into the rear side of the handle. the entire tensile load of the handle is carried on these two points, and this is where the plastic fractured. having no luck finding replacement parts, and no reason to believe that putting a similarly-designed handle would prevent the problem from recurring, i repaired the handle by drilling through the handle and putting 2 bolts and 2 nuts through the body of the handle to secure it to the door. *tr | |||
