Common failure. Call Ray at Malloy and he'll get you all set.

Don't buy plastic ones again get aluminium ones, I have ordered a set from ebay for £110 ($170 US) inc delivery and he guarantees that they will never break or he will replace them http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWNX:IT his web site is here http://www.rx7doorhandles.com but they are cheaper on ebay I am still waiting on mine though

Cheers,
Gav

If you keep the internals well lubricated with lithium spray grease it's a lot less likely to happen again.
