Default Broke my left side handle grip

Mine broke a few weeks ago, the handle from the top part snatched off, while the bottom one came off with the nut too. Can someone tell me how to fix it please? I can do the top part, just unscrew it and screw it back on, but the bottom one, the screw kind of snatched off from the hole.

I ordered a replacement part and got it off ebay for really cheap.

the lower part(i noticed my the bottom panel(with the buttons) is pretty loose, like i can easily take it off with a single finger, is that normal?


The lower part of the grip and the nut that came off with the lower side



the top part

the nut on the bottom is on the inside of the door where the window motor is. i have broken 2 of these. they are cheap if you reuse your metal piece. what is a pain in the *** is if the nut is no longer attached to the inner door piece. look up some DIY window motor fixes if you need help getting the door panel off. its pretty easy.

If the whole screw came off with the bottom side of the handle grip, im assuming the nut inside probably came off too from the inside. So you're saying that I have to take the door panel off and then install the screw at the bottom??

Lol my Z is a 03, but its super clean with no dents or scratches. It only has 33k miles on it, but this broke a while ago and is the only fault in my car right now :-( sad, I know.
