The plastic pivot on the inside of the door handle has broken.  There are no
junkyards in my area with a new handle.  Does anybody have a source for
these or a spare for sale?  It's a black handle, '96 960 wagon

Depending on how determined you are, I think you can replace the inner
guts.  From the looks of it, the inner guts are also interchangeable with
the older style handles.

I don't mind that a bit!  As a matter of fact, VOLUPARTS Inc replied to me,
and they have the pivot for $25.  I'm just not sure how to remove the pin
that holds it in place.  In the short term, I put the broken driver's door
handle on the back door; it gets used rarely, and put the good handle on the
driver's door.  I just need to look at the pivot again to see how it gets
removed.
Thanks for the help!
George
