I was greatly assisted several months ago by either this site or another Toyota forum in helping me repair a broken handle on the rear hatch door of my 2000 Toyota Sienna. Thanks. Total cost: $2.50. Dealer wanted $400.00.
My sliding door handle recently broke (same vehicle) and I fixed it using similar creativity that was shared with me to fix the rear door. So, if you'll look at the photos, you see how to fix a broken sliding door handle. Cost: $0.50 Dealer wants: $350-$400.
Steps:
1. Remove interior door panel. Gradually "pop" it free from its pins. I used a screwdriver to slowly wedge each pin free as I moved around the perimeter of the panel. Take you time but do not fear using a bit of force. There's one screw that needs to be removed using a Phillips
2. Snap cable free from its clips and remove cylindrical head of cable from door handle.
3. Use hex nut screwdriver (10 mm) to remove two screws holding handle in place. It pops out from the outside of the vehicle Be careful not to drop screws down into the abyss of the door's interior.
4. Purchase 1" 5/64" bolt and nut. Drill hole through white cylindrical piece that was once attached to door handle itself (drill straight!). Drill hole with 5/64" bit. Align white piece with strong part of black piece (which was the part which probably snapped) attached to the handle itself. Drill hole through black piece. There should be enough give in the cable to reattach cable later when white and black piece are joined by bolt.
5. Reassemble. Good luck. I imagine the pictures will help more than my words.
