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.

Why not just buy a new handle?

 

i jsut had to order a new handle from malloy. it was like $150 somethin shipped

 

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.

id love to see some pics of what you did. my ouside driver door handle just broke. i dont havce the 150 bucks to buy a new one right now either.

 

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.
