so yeah, my drivers side door handle broke on the inside, the little latch part that connects to the spring inside the door panel, what can i do to fix this, im thinking jb weld it back together, i mean 30 bucks for a new doorhandle, thats rediculous haha





any ideas?



or should i just stick with the jb weld idea

Jb weld is a waste of time for your door handle, just pay the money to have a new one. It is a little more money now, but much less hassle and inconvenience later.

Have a look at the other door handle, you should be able to swap them around, if I remember correctly, they have two connection points on the handle, just be careful when removing the handle, as they can break easily if your not carefull.

yeah thats the problem, one of my connection points broke on the drivers side door handle, thats why i was wondering if it would be easier to jb weld the connection point back together. i will pull the doors apart today and look at swapping them for now

the best part, all of that, for 10 bucks off of a freshly painted, but blown engined black fb
