Install metal inside door handle
My drivers door handle broke at the top hinge pin location.
Handle did still open the door because the bottom part was intact.
Brought a metal replacement:

Everything fit well.
The E-clip for the metal hinge pin is a project to clip on.
They give you two and I lost both. I did this repair without taking the panel off and working on a bench.
Since the pin installs from the top down I just put a dab of 3M weatherstrip adhesive on the top, just because.
I could have saved the OEM hinge pin and reused it but didn't, who knew.
Feel more comfortable pulling on a metal handle instead of plastic.
Hope this helps.

If I end up on my roof I'm in Doo-Doo.
Oh buy the way. After I put everything back together on the black asphalt driveway I found one of the clips I lost.
