3.1LUMITIC Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Posted January 25, 2005 its a 2 door 90 lumina euro thats b/s that the handle is made of pos weak metal dont they know any better or is there a place i can get it from with better metal? Quote
White93z34 Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 not much you can do about it, theres aftermarket replacements out there, but from what i hear they aren't much better. i just modified my door opening habits, just pull the handle enough to pop the door open the pull it the rest of the way by the door frame, that makes the handle last much longer.

TheCutlassGuru Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 yeah i had to replace my driver side handle the other day. the parts are all over, at least around here. i bought a new replacement for $45 from a junk yard but you can find them on ebay for $20 or pull a used on out of the junk yard for the same or a little more. they are really easy to replace. it took me less than 10 minutes. I know i paid too much for my part but i was sick of runnin around lookin and i didnt wanna wait to have it shipped to me off ebay. Quote
Regal_GS_1989 Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 Damn, every J/Y that I check out never has any door handles on any W coupe. The only handles I have ever found are on L bodys Quote
DiscoStudd Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 Damn, every J/Y that I check out never has any door handles on any W coupe. The only handles I have ever found are on L bodys Same here. I don't think I've ever seen a W-Body coupe with its handles still on the car in all of my J/Y travels. Makes it a pain trying to fish out the "unlatch" rod when you want to get into one of the cars with the missing handles... Quote
KING JOKER Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 i went to the jukyard one day and found a nice back seat cushion but the handels were missing ioff of the car so i opend the trunk with a screwdriver and go in through the trunk but getting back tho the story both of the hndels were snapped off..... gotta love that high quality pot metaql they use for the handles Quote
TheCutlassGuru Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 the j/y i bought my new part from had one in the yard but, for some reason, the guy didnt wanna seperate it from the door because the door was still good. i guess the cheapest route to go is ebay. 17-20 bucks plus shipping. Quote
Darkness Posted January 25, 2005 Report Posted January 25, 2005 I just replaced my driver side door handle last night. Was a little bit of work, considering how cold it was and I did it in my driveway. Nothing broken, but I did manage to drive a screwdriver into my thumb while I was trying to pry a clip loose. I got my door handle from http://www.1aauto.com/. They claim to make clone door handles with higher quality metal than the factory. The only thing about the replacement, is on the arm part that usually breaks, my old one had a slot where some kind of electronic toggle sat. There was no slot on the new one, even though the mounting holes were there for the piece. It doesn't seem to change operation, so I didn't do anything about it. Oh, and the piece for my 89 TGP cost me $32 shipped. Quote
3.1LUMITIC Posted January 26, 2005 Author Report Posted January 26, 2005 well i guess its good to be 6'7" tall so i can just open the pass. door reach over and pop the drive door open "looking like a jackass at the same time with ppl watching" an the 2 thing wrong with the door is that the door lock doesnt unlock with the key thank the lord for electric locks Quote
supreme_style21 Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 Don't waste your money on junkyard shit.. unless you get it for a buck. Go with the site Darkness mentioned or eBay. Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 If it were my car, I would covert the handles to a style that of older GMs and Corvettes.. Heres a pic: The back door handle.. stronger.. boo yah.. Quote
