Door Handle In My Hand!?

[jordyboy004]

went to the car this morn to give mum a lift to work. when i dropped her off saw some friends who could do with a lift home. got out and opened the drivers side rear door and was frozen shut so me being me gave it a yank and then the handle came off in my hands. looks like some parts have been broken and would prob need new ones. parts aint a problem was just wondering if its a fix that can be done by me or is it a garage job? anyone had this problem and tried fixing it their self?

oh god , me being heavy handed too , betta leave the mrs open , if she breaks she pays lol

already broke two ice scrapers yesterday (new ones too)

nah will take care if they are a bit stiff

id imagine you could sort yourself

yeah def dont give it a yank lol. while searching for a fix i did read some people putting vaseline on the rubbers seals. and dw40 all the locks. so thats something ill be doing later. i gave up with ice scrappers. warm water in a bottle then spray de icer over the screen to clear the rest. such a pain in the ass this weather

id use spray grease over wd40 as it will just drip off
