Replying to: jmgar (Jul 26, 2009 6:29 am) Usually you can buy these replacements at the dealer, yes. Most of them come out by prying off the plastic shield behind the handle (the shield where your fingernails touch the plastic) and there is usually one or two phillips screws there. I haven't worked on your particular car, so in some cases you'll have to pop the door panel off to detach the handle from the activating lever. You'll have to get in there and poke around. Also when you see the new part that should tip you off. Plastic breaks on 7 year old cars. That's normal wear and tear on a part that takes a lot of abuse.
