Check this out. They made a kit to fix this! amzn.to/3MWbOQb

Just did this repair job on my wife’s 2011 grand caravan. One tip when putting the cable in for handle. Don’t forget to put it back into the plastic anchor for tension or door won’t open. Thanks brother for this video. You made my wife happy👍

I tried this last night and it worked like a charm. Because we had tools handy, fabricating only took a few minutes. The tip to pull on the panel until you think it will break was a good tip. I was was afraid, but it did give way. I did, in fact, drop the fabricated part into the door. Because it wasn't my first time being an idiot, I had my magnetic telescopic flashlight grabber handy. Great tips, thanks.

Driveway battle damage repair staring JOE! My favorite part was when you said “be careful if you drop anything it is lost forever”. We all been there!

I was just quoted 150 Canadian to do this lol imma go to kenny u pull tomorrow and get me a new handle for 20 bucks and do it myself! Thanks!

Thanks for your video! Saved me a ton of time and money!

Thanks for the how to vid.! Repairing the same issue second time this year.

Thanks for posting. I fixed mine today after watching your video.

Thank you for your video. Just fixed mine and it worked great. I removed the interior handle assembly for access to the hole directly across from the bolts. Thanks for posting!

Great video. Very helpful. Thank you.

My ‘09 Chrysler T&C just had the driver side sliding door handle go out at 188k. Not much of a minivan anymore cuz the ac hasn’t worked in years but now I just use it for hauling stuff I don’t want to put in my Toyota or Honda lol. Thanks for the video.

Good video. Nicely explained. Mine is lose, just about to brake. Now I know what to look for! Thanks!

Wicked cool repair, Joe. The man van rocks. 👍👊

Wow, that is such an excellent idea. I had the same problem. 330,000 km on my van and it is too good to junk because of a broken handle. I will be trying this solution tomorrow.

Thank you, this helps me a lot.My mom will be happy

Good that you were able to get it fixed and in working condition cheaply. Showing how it was done would've been nice to see tho.

This is exactly my similar problem. My handle is not completely broken off but will not open the door from outside. It would have been a great addition to have an image sketch with sizes on the part you made so that we can get this ready before tearing the door open. I will try to make a outline sketch with all sizes when I get to do mine. Have to do both sides due to my aggressive nature of opening frozen stuck doors. A little wd 40 on the rubber so far has prevented further ice ups of the doors.

I just did this repair on my 2010 i just bought, thanks for this video!

OK! First of all thank you very much for this useful video. I repaired my door handle and you are a big part of it! I just want to add one thing : I effectively LOST inside de door the precious replacement piece (...). In the video you said that it was lost forever. I disagree! I taped a strong magnet with a screwdriver then attached a rope to the screwdriver. Then, I just went fishing for the missing piece. Took me 10 minutes but finally got it! ... 3 minutes later I lost a screw there too... once again I used the magnet screwdriver and got it back.

Little trick remove the inner door handle 3x10mm bolts and 2 torx bolts ,then remove the tape covering the hole .Then you can get a rachet and extension and get to it easier

Muy bien me ayudó mucho otra vez gracias

Thanks for the video. Just had mine break today

thank you. saved me $2,200.

I found a company that makes a plate which would take 15 mins or less to install

It’s a genius solution !

Hey, perhaps you can help me. I am unable to open the manual sliding door from the inside. It's not child lock as the working sliding door behaves differently when child lock is on. When I pull from inside, the working door would pull further and will click and stop opening. With the non working door, the pull is half and no clicks or action. The door can open from outside.

Never thought to show us how to lift the panel off…?

Where can I get the whole handle from

Would have been nice to see you do it not before and after?!?! WTAF!!!
