Broken door handles won't actuate the door linkages, the plastic tabs are broken off. I've got one handle removed for inspection. What is the good fix? Looks like any other plastic handle will just break again. Has anyone figured out the cheapo long life fix? Appearances aren't too important right now. Thanks.

Yes...the cheapo fix it to line up the parts and drill a hole through the broken bit and handle. Put a nail through there and epoxy it in place. It's been working fine on my truck fer over 2 years now. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The broken piece isn't in the door bottom on my driver's side. Any ideas for fix without the broken piece? thanks.
