Door Handle - 9/15/2007 1:25:03 PM    boogz Posts: 322 Joined: 11/7/2005 Status: offline I guess i just wanted to rant and say that my damn door handle just broke off .  I'm pretty sure this has happened to many people who own Gen 3&4 type models, when you open your door and your fingertips seem to slip off sometimes, causing the door handle to slam back into position.  Well i guess all that slipage on my handle wore out the plastic and SNAP there goes a piece of the handle flying right past my face!  Now i gotta go buy a new handle. _____________________________ 2001 Toyota Camry Le (100k+mileage) 2008 Toyota Highlander Post #: 1

Looking back it was quite funny actually, because wtf, door handles should not snap like that. (in reply to boogz) Post #: 5

Don't buy from the dealer unless you can absolutely not find it anywhere else. _____________________________ low cost car insurance (in reply to LivinLoud) Post #: 8
