So my handle broke and I need to fix it ASAP. The first picture is what has broken. There was a spring and a plastic cylinder but the plastic broke so the spring doesnt have tension so the door handle doesnt work.

My question is do I need a new handle or can I just order the part from CourtesyParts.com. Its the driver side door handle that has broken. I have attached another picture of the door assembly for some additional help.

Thanks

 

I had this problem too. I just bought a whole new handle.That plastic piece is part of the handle so you would have to replace the handle itself. But fear not cause its fairly easy to replace . btw, I think I bought my handle for like 70 bucks. It happens from constantly letting the handle slam.

 

Thanks for the info!!

yep whole new handle. I've had my Z about a year and have had to replace both handles already

 

Yea, as m3 said, you want to avoid pulling the handle and then just letting go abruptly. This causes a lot of vibration right on that plastic piece and will possibly cause it to break.

current cost is 65 without shipping.
