    Default AE86 with a broken door handle

    Just purchased a shiny new 86 and the next morning my daughter pulled on the handle too hard and a part inside snapped off of the plastic rest for the metal mechanism. We tried gluing it but its under too much pressure and snaps off. My question is: Is there a replaceable part from another corolla, or will i need to source genuine 86 parts.

    Thanks

    the question is: Is your daughter replaceable and how much trouble will you get in if people notice that change?

    yeah i think my 86 went thru the same thing, (im interstate and my dads looking after it) short answer NO

    so you can either try and find a cheap door that has the lock
    OR
    buy new from toyota for about $90
