If you can help him out, either post here or send me a PM and I'll give you his email address.

probably a good idea to get a new one,  they break pretty easy and i dont think a new aftermarket one is to bad

if you are talking about the handle part it is about 160 from the dealer and would have to be ordered

I checked at autohausaz.com and the part number for the door handle isn't even close to the one he listed.  I'm guessing it's the latch in the door . . .  ???
