Just to share, I just bought (2/15) a couple of doorhandle assemblies from rockauto.com for $12.50 each. Great deal. However, when I installed them, I wasn't getting them to work. Problem was, the aftermarkets on rockauto had too much play in the hinged arm due to a crappy rivet connection to generate enough downforce to open the door. Rather than bitch and reorder, I used the metal hinged arm off the OEM handles on the replacements, and now it works fine. Just a little fyi. rockauto has never done me wrong, but I guess this was one of those times. Thanks for the video!
Going to be putting after stocks speakers in my 2003 park ave. thanks for the video!! i love how simple certain stuff like this to do on these cars once you know how.
just did this. serious absolute pain in the ass. for my park ave, the window lift bar was in the way of both bolts so it was a hunt and poke game. thank god for ratcheting box wrenches and my thought to have them in my life lol because they have come to my rescue on many occasions. heads up there is a screw behind the red light on the door on park ave ultras
Thanks for this video. I have two door handles that don't work. So I know where to find this and when I can get someone to help me with changing the 2 handles. How much do the handles cost and where can I get them locally in Michigan?
The easy way is when you put the new one in put the door lock clip on but do not slide the lock in until the end. After you tighten the bolts then slide the lock in. It is much easier to install this way.
+60dvid have mine bought from PartsGeek and got them painted and ready to try to install using this video as a guide. Will follow up. Need to replace both driver's side handles as both broke within days of each other.
Nice job Keith ! You have a very kind, instructive voice young man, way to persist !!

My door handle just broke, won't open from the outside. Your video helped me understand how to remove everything and install a new handle. Thank you

Where did you get the aftermarket handle??
Did everything and the door didn’t open... might be the aftermarket handle I ordered. Which one did you use? Thanks
I bought one at parts geek for 14.98 , i replaced the driver side about 4 months ago , now i'm going to have to replace the passenger side .

How did you get the door open to replace it
Did you get it fixed? I would break the hand with a strong screwdriver or something then grab the metal arm to unlock the door
thanks dude!
