I had a lot of requests on how I fixed the 2g door handles. The one's that ALWAYS break no matter how nice you are to them. Everyone has problems with the Ebay handles especially, so when BOTH of my door handles broke the first time, I went digging on how to fix them, so that it wouldn't happen again.
Tools Required:
1) Phillips Screw driver
2) 10mm socket/wrench- Preferably 1/4 drive as it needs to get into a tight space
3) Flathead screw driver for prying/popping clips
4) Wrenches/sockets to tighten new bolts (explained below)
Parts:
1) 2x 8mm MAYBE 9mm x15 bolt
2) 2x 8/9mm nut in same thread as bolt
3) 2x 8/9mm lock washer (if desired)
Total time: 20minutes- 2 hours- Depends on how fast you can remove the door handles/panels
This procedure here is quite simple. Originally I used a short piece of cloths hanger in place of the bolt, however, this was a temporary fix and I'd highly suggest a bolt or something of the like. I do apologize for the video quality, it was taken with my EVO as fitting a camcorder in the internals of the door was not going to happen.
I will add pictures next time I have the door panel off. I was getting frustrated with the door handle and just wanted to finish, so I forgot to get a few pictures.
