Under $50 on Amazon:

I just bought one for my driver side door. It's the second one I've replaced. They don't last any longer than OEM but it beats buying a whole door panel.

That is the "old" one I mentioned earlier; which at $48 is a rip off.
These are just the top, I didn't search for cheaper.

I've been a little confused about which part to buy. The video I linked to earlier is replacing just the "chrome" handle, spring, and pin. That looks easier than the Doorman video that involves drilling, glue, and screwing in the whole black frame on the back of the door panel.

donbrew, your link to the one I should buy looks like the one in the video I linked. There are several choices on Amazon in the $17-25 range.

I showed 3 examples, not choices. Prices are all over the place. I find that searching for "price + shipping lowest first" on eBay is easier than flopping around on Amazon, and usually cheaper by a few dollars.

Your OEM is plastic, the Dorman is plastic the other is metal. Your choice.

Pulling the pin is easy, I didn't bother putting the circlip back on after dropping it 3 times.

If you go the plastic one, and are planning on keeping the car for some time, you can always reinforce it with that JB WELD stuff. It hides in the webbing on the back side of the handle without being visible at all.
