Had a breakage yesterday, and could no longer open driver's door from outside. The inside cast metal support frame for the exterior door handle had fractured into a few pieces.

I don't know if this is a common break (haven't seen posted) or if I just had a substandard casting. I am looking to buy PN#928-537-06304 - the number was conveniently cast right into the part....

TIA

it is pretty common,

I took one out of a parts car that while had not failed, was already cracking.

this is definitly a , must use new part item, dont even think about using old parts here

okee-dokey; I had been considering brazing the parts back together with a bit of extra metal to reinforce the cracked area. The design appears to have an extra bracket that is not involved in door latch actuation- perhaps an anti-theft shield/slimjim blocker?

I imagine the NOS part is pricey?

I sometimes wonder why people don't just reach thru the computer and smack me upside-da-head!

Right there on the 928intl site........order placed.

Thanks to all the brighter folks out there who refrained from pointing out the obvious (that I suffer cranial-rectal inversion)

new parts about 65 bux.
If your careful and only use the handle to unlatch then open the door it should last a long time, make sure to lubricate the linkages inside the door so everything works smoothly

I just did this job 3 weeks ago I got the part from 928 international and it took me about 45min.

And how long did it take you to put it together? I was talking total job and Beer breaks

Mrmerlin

with a security cover in place the job takes a lot more time its best to remove the cover with the window down
