1998 Xsara Door Handle

[jamie.edwards1978]

The exterior door handle on the driver's side on my beloved 1998 xsara has broken, the blasted thing just came off in my hand!

 

Any idea where I can get another one? My local scrap yard didn't have one.

 

And how would I go about removing the inner door panel so I can fit it?

 

Thanx in advance

this happens alot mostly in winter the frost can make the handles brittal. You can replace yourself but it is a little trick if you are not handly. Buy a new handle in the dealers the old ones in scrap yards break very quickly being there before. remove door panel pop off plastic near mirror first then pop off speaker cover remove speaker out of way. one large screw here in the corner you will need torcs set with extension to reach it. next screw is under dor arm rest and another one under door pull handle. the rest of it is held on by pop outs use flat head screww driver hear. with this off peal gently back grey noise seal you can figure out the rest from hear if you are handy if this sounds to much seek help now ...
