91L3xus Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Well the driver door handle broke on my 91 ES today, lifted it and it crunched and was stuck in the up position. Door still locks and closes. Any suggestions on what to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branshew Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Well the driver door handle broke on my 91 ES today, lifted it and it crunched and was stuck in the up position. Door still locks and closes. Any suggestions on what to do? Fix it. I replaced the passenger side door handle on my '95 ES300. The replacement came painted to match and was @ $150-175 if I recall correctly. I had my mechanic put it on, but I don't think that it would be too tough for a DIY job.

91L3xus Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 Apparently some !Removed! stuck some gum in the handle which made it stick up... I cleaned that out and now it moves much more freely, but still doesn't go down all the way. Plus the whole mechanism moves around in the door when I pull up the handle. I'm sure I'll end up getting it fixed for $500 (thankfully my parent's $$$), but will be unsuccessful in showing them how much of a money pit my car is.
