So I got these crappy door handles made out of pot-metal on my 1979 camaro z28 and this is my 3rd one. Being that the doors are ridiculously heavy, anyone know where I might locate some beefier (not sure if that's a word) outside door handles? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

 

I have owned almost a dozen 2nd generation Camaros and although I have seen many people with your problem I never, ever had one break on me. all I did was make sure I did the simplest thing and always pulled on the handles, at the end with hingebecause that end has the strongest support

 

Yea that's where it broke and I've just been using the little piece at the end to open up the door s I guess I'll just replace it with a new one and do what you said. Appreciate the feedback.

 

common problem. live and learn, right?
