Car Forum / Toyota / Camry / July 20071993 Camry Door Handle Starting to Break
I noticed that the driver side door handle on my 1993 Camry V6 LE is starting to break. The part that is breaking is the plastic handle you left up to open the door. Does the dealer have replacements and how do I remove this part. I had a 93 Camry LE that the front passenger door handle broke. I ordered it from some dealer on the internet that advertised 25% off internet orders. It was color matched, and I just let the local Firestone dealer install it for about $50 I stopped by the Toyota dealer and they want $118 for the handle. I looked on the internet and the price is between $15 to $28. The only problem is that the only color is black. Do you recall where you purchased your handle. I need or would like to have the color taupe or dark gray. Thank you, >I had a 93 Camry LE that the front passenger door handle broke.

I want to think the dealer was in New Jersey. The black one needs to be painted. So the final cost may not be an advantage. There are internet based Toyota parts dealers. I don't use them (or needed them), but you can google for these. > I stopped by the Toyota dealer and they want $118 for the handle. I looked > on the internet and the price is between $15 to $28.

Toyota really wants it to stay on there. :-) It is a little tight to work in there once you have the panel off, but not bad. I definitely preferred to give up about 1.5 hours of my time rather than give the dealership $138.00.
