Hi, why do you need one, just asking as if yours is broken it is not the car colored part you need, its the hinge that breaks.

And if it is the hinge that is broken, I would not put a used one on.

Plus the hinges are not that expensive new (~$65?)

A bit of a threadjack, my driver side outer door handle is loose. Is there something that I can adjust or tighten to take out the slop?

Well I havent had the complete handle off/out yet, however I have the inner door skin off and it looks to me like tge cheap casted/pot metal arm on the handle is broken. One side of the handle when pulled comes quite far out.

No, color is of no consequence.

I think you will find it's most likely the hinge that is actually broken...

Look under the handle...

To ThetaTau,

Just repaired same issue. There were two loose nuts on handle to hinge mechanism. Mechanism is still good. Door card off, raise window, remove bolt and two screws holding the security panel over handle, remove plastic retainers holding wires. Lower window carefully. Slide security panel out of way but leave it in the door. Sort of bitchy. Tighten bolts (4mm hex I think). Holes in handle are slotted so set it to not bind at top when opening and square to door panel indent. Still a PITA job but not as bad as pulling all the locks/handles/etc. for a complete hinge replacement.

Cheers, Phendriks

Read the attached thread - lots of photos - you may have a better idea of what you are looking at
