Default door handle fell off

Today when my brother went to get into my car, he went to open his door and the only thing that moved was the door handle. Does anyone know how expensive this will be to fix and if I need to get a whole new handle?

same thing happened to me on my 96 rs. I had to buy a new handle($45) then had the dealer install it($70). check on ebay for a handle firsr bc the dearler charges $75 for one.

I found a way to pull the door apart and push the spring out. After that I used plastic epoxy to glue it back together and it held together on my old spyder for 1 1/2 years.

HAHA, the old leprosy door handle. It can be found cheap on the used sections of most forums. I laugh because I have had 5 guys ask me about it in the last week. i guess it is the cold weather up here, but o well. It is a frequent problem. If you car is any other color than black you will also have to get it painted.

Junk yards are FULL of them aswell.
