Hi,

I own a 93 Diamante wagon. Just today my drivers side inside door handle broke. Sometimes when you open the door it pops off the track and then you have to pull the handle all of the way open. It scares me to do this too often thinking that eventually it will break off. Hopefully that is understandable.

If anyone has any wisdom it would be much appreciated. Also anyone that knows of any links where I can buy the parts needed and instuctions for installation are welcomed.

Thanks!
Artsy

i think i know what ur talking about..
is it the frame/casing behind the lever you pull on to open the door?
and is there a small black screw in the corner of the frame?
is this where it's cracked?
IF SO.. a cheap and easy fix is to find a thincker plastic jug. Next cut out a corner piece that matches the contour of the frames shape. Now take the piece of plastic jug and sprey paint it black. Next super glue the piece of jug to the door handle frame to the back side of the cracked and missing corner, where the screw goes through. Alow time to dry. Now make a small hole with a tiny drill bit.
Now your good to go. put it back togeather and it really isn't noticable. Trust me i've done it to one of my door handles and 2 of my friends's dia.s

A online regualr partss store check out:
http://www.mitsubishicyberstore.com/
http://www.prostreetonline.com/
these sites are out there, u might have better luck
OR 4 a piece like that check a forgien auto parts junk yard, (they have newer cars) or the dealership.

Good luck and rep. your diamante :P
