Can you glue the outside handle on a 92 Geo Metro?

Answer 1

Both inside and outside plastic handles are very delicate and break very easy. People seem to try to open the doors when the lock is engaged to lock the door. At 50.00 to 100.00 a door handle i decided to attempt repair.

I am repairing the driver side inside plastic door handle using a Dremel 3/4 inch circular saw. Using the hottest glue used on PVC plastic piping, i created a weld so tight it was extraordinary. I then use heavy scrap plastic above and below the spindles. I drilled clear through to the new supporting plastic and i made a few plastic dowels from scrap model plastic "trees" for support. I drilled a hole for the latch and the handle worked. I treat that door handle really nice.
