Bloody door handel broke!
Well I go to get into my car and the bloody door handel broke off right in my hand! Does anyone happen to know where I can find a cheap replacment? I would actually love to replace it with a carbon fiber piece. Or does anyone have a used one laying around? By the way it was my drivers side handel (outside).
Thanks in advance

to keep this from happening again lube the door handle shaft with wd-40 from time to time by taking the door handle assembly apart. for some reason that shaft will get dirty and corrode making it vary hard to pull the handle up.

When I bought my car the driver's side door handle was broken. I repaired it with JB weld and it has been working for a 1 1/2 years now with a good lubrication. There were some adjustment/wear issues to require excessive handle force which caused the break.
I bought a used one that I keep handy. A broken handle is a real PITA.
