slick Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 Found this place online. $25 for a new door handle, I figured that wasn't that bad of a price for a brand new one. Just wondering if anyone else has bought from here before, if it was good quality or not. Link: http://www.1aauto.com/1A/DoorHandleExterior/Chevrolet/Lumina/PLP1090048/ Thanks. Quote
slick Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Posted October 18, 2005 And after about 8 pages of using the search function, I found this thread on replacing the handle: http://www.w-body.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28089&highlight=door+handle+replacement Quote
ToroToro Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 I'm using that door handle right now. Funtionally, it's fine...just make sure you lube up the moving parts inside of it, or it'll get stuck and you'll have to battle for five hours trying to pop the door open from inside like I did. Appearance wise, it has alot of orange peel in the finish, but that doesnt really bother me, considering my car isn't mint anyway. Quote
slick Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Posted October 18, 2005 Mine isn't perfect either... but I would like something a little more asthetically appealing than orange peel in what should be a simple paint job. Guess I'll keep looking then. Quote

Guess I'll keep looking then. There is a place here that sells aftermarket handles for $35. I think I have a spare in the basement it's yours if you want it. Quote
fastbird232 Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 Man, you don't need a thread to tell you how to replace it. It'll take you longer to search for a thread on handle replacement than to actually go out there and replace the damn thing. Quote
slick Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Posted October 19, 2005 Oh, I know. I was just seeing about how long it will take me to replace it mainly. Looks fairly simple. I just have to allot the time in my busy as schedule (and with the less and less daylight each day) to find time to do this. Tony, If you have a drivers side one, let me know. Quote
ToroToro Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 I dont mean to say mine has serious orange peel. Just that the finish isn't totally smooth. You cant even tell in this pic: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/torotoro/66442082.jpg As far as how long it takes...it took me about a half hour in the freezing cold. Trickiest part is getting the lock cylinder components together again... theres a bunch of small pieces and springs and shit. Only other thing I can say is to not overtighten the bolts that hold it on. I ended up denting mine a little bit. Quote
runt Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 his looks like the one I paid $50 for! Quote
slick Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Posted October 19, 2005 Hmm.... well it appears they have ebay auctions as well. I'll compare there website shipping price to there ebay shipping price. Whichever is cheapest gets the sale. That is, unless I can get that door handle from Tony before then. Quote
supreme_style21 Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 I've bought like three from that company. They've all been excellent IMO. Quote
