Hey there. Recently (about 4 months ago), my door handle stopped working. This was because the plastic internals around the metal mounting bolts had been snapped by the previous owner. To solve it, I JB welded the pieces back together, with a zip tie to hold their shape. However, a few weeks ago I noticed that the handle started slightly loosening up again. Are there any replacement handles with full metal interior or full metal design entirely? I want to replace the handles but don't want to deal with the issues again. Please help!

P.S: I do live in Texas and know that the handles will get hot in the sun, I do not care about that. I just want durability to avoid the issue later. Im also willing to pay a decent amount for them as well. I just need recommendations!

 

I replaced both of my door handles with some uber-cheap Amazon specials a while back, and the passenger side broke after 2 weeks of light use and the driver's side just broke after one year. Replaced both of them with a slightly more expensive Amazon set, and so far both of them have been okay, but I haven't had them long enough to completely vouch for them. Therefore, I'd recommend OEM if you are ok with spending more and isn't as much of a coin flip as the ones you find on Amazon. I don't believe they are fully metal, however they are going to work for probably as long as the ones you are replacing (~20 years.) Just shop around for the best price. If you are ok with waiting a little, Amayama, a OEM parts supplier from Japan, has them for around 90 bucks a pop which is cheaper than Z1 and nissanpartsusa.

 

Thank you!!! I'll definitely look into Amayama. I appreciate it!

 

oem or nothing, the rest are trash.
