Is it just me?

[apuforyou]

Serisouly, is it just me or our interior door handles really weak... ive had to replace the front passenger handle twice already and someone broke it again, (apparently unlocking the door is a hard concept to people) and ive replaced my driver side door handle once and its cracked again... i try to be gentle but they just keep breaking

[accordaffair]

They are, lots of people with gorilla grips break them often, I haven't broke one yet, but I can feel the handle flex a lot.

i think the coupe ones are even more brittle.

my friend broke my passeneger one, costed me like 17 bucks.

strange...mine seem extremely strong...in the winter when it was all icey out and the doors were frozen shut, i was pulling as hard as i could to break the door free...handles held up just fine.

you mean pulling on the exterior handles?

i think he's talking about the interior handles, with the plastic surrounds

oh shit...didnt see the interior handle, just saw the word door handles. but either way, ive yanked the shit out of mine many times. ive even used the door handle to close my door, just grab the handle and pull.

you must have got the type arrrr cryogenic treated door handles.

yeah, passenger side broke on my old one and is cracking on my new one.......its always the passenger side tho, never the driver side. i think its because people suck.....they will reef on the handle but are too lazy to push the door itself, most seem to want to force the door open using the handle as some sort of fulcrum. and one of my friends will just sit there pulling on the handle as something to fidget with

[head4life]

yeah the coupe ones suck I was thinking about making some that had metal inside of them or getting someone to make them

[avendi]

I have to replace my interior passenger side door handle, so I'm going to try and find a way to fortify the thing and maybe make a DIY for it if it works well.

[qbodsyt]

it always breaks at the same point which is an obvious pressure point....how about getting a replacement one and putting a piece of fibreglass patch or fibreglass reinforced bondo on the backside which is inside the door? i figure thats what i'll do when i replace mine this summer....it shouldn't take up much more space and that stuff is pretty tough to crack

[YellowCord]

it you.

mines worked even though they were broken.

Is it such a hard concept to be gentle when opening AND closing a car door. you do not have to slam them shut. you do not have to yank the handle to open them.

Isn't it great that one of the few chronic problems with our cars is the interior door handles? I mean, DSMs have crankwalk, SVXs have transmission issues, Supras blow head gaskets like Michael Jackson blows Bubbles... We have lousy door handles.
