Broken door handle
So I have gone about to fix my door handle and took it apart. I found where the problem is and a metal piece that has somehow broken, is breaking the link between opening the door. The piece is shaped like a hammer and goes down when the door handle is pulled up. The hammer shaped metal piece has a crack through it and only half the piece moves with the door handle and the other half is disconnected. I was thinking about going to get a new door handle or one from a junkyard but I was just thinking. Is there any way to make this piece solid enough again to work? I tried super glue and it bonded it, but it couldn't withstand the force to push the next lever and broke off. Any chemicals I could use to bond it? Perhaps some sort of cement? Or would welding it work?

its common that the door handles break on the FC. it would be eaiser to go to the boneyard as stated above or just order a new one from www.mazdatrix.com. you just need to know your paint code.
