Door Handle Assy

Hey guys, I fell victim to the door handle self-destucting ways. I JBWeld'd the plastic piece to the metal actuating piece and removed the spring in that part of the system. The rest of the system still has more than enough pull to pul the handle back in and without the upper spring the metal piece won't bend and tear into the plastic. I hope this helps others and my handle didn't totaly break off so I had less to deal with than so of the other guys.
If you guys need pics, I can get those tomarrow.

Cause with this setup it won't break again. That and I like DIY stuff, and I'm cheap when it comes to the stuff that doesn't blow up the engine.

Did it come completely off, cause mine didn't do that so you'd have to fix that first; before what I did will help.
