Drivers side exterior door handle?
Anyone have one they can sell me? Mine broke this morning where the rod clips in.

Actually looks like it was the plastic part of the handle the actuator rocker arm (not sure if that's actually what to call it) pivots. I am attempting to JB Weld it back together. Still interested in a replacement even if this works. I've never been super thrilled with the durability of JB weld on plastic bits so I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before it fails again.

You mean the little plastic clip that holds the rod to where it attaches? Autozone etc will have those in the "dorman help" section.

Re: Drivers side exterior door handle?
I need the whole handle. There is a round hole in the middle of the handle that the linkage attaches to that broke. The clip is fine. I attached images of my attempted JB weld fix in progress so you can see what I'm talking about. It's the part in the second picture I have the socket putting pressure on.
