RHD Drivers Side Handle

[JustinGotA1j]

Does anyone have or know where I can find a drivers side handle (the deal with the window controls in it) for a RHD supra. I was going through the car wash today and my door didn't completely latch so I pulled on it to try and close the door and the fuckin clips all broke off. Any help would be awesome! Thanks.

no no just the door handle.

Wouldn't it be the same handle as our passenger handle? I think the holes are the same side on both.

BUT, are you sure the screws didn't just pull out of the handle?

The bottom screw just pulled out but the top one actually broke off the plastic retainer piece that is part of the handle itself so the top of my handle is loose and floppy. I was thinking about the passenger side handle but my car came with the shadow grey interior which is a bitch to find in american cars.

What colour?????

Edit ........ Just seen your post on colour,

shadow grey

Somebody was parting a shadow grey not long ago, if I recall. Is it so bad that maybe a washer wouldn't help?

 

[JustinGotA1j]

Ya i tried the washers. No go. Its not visibly noticeable right now but every time I close my door its gonna piss me off. So I just wanna fix it and do it right.

So this is the piece that you actually grab hold of, right? Hmm...

10-4 BlackMKIII. Does anyone know if it will be the same as a LHD passenger one?

I just went out and looked at a set of burgundy handles I have. You should be able to use a passenger side shadow grey from here. I know that doesn't make too much easier, but may help the search. The switch holes are the same on both sides in our cars.

^^^ That's what I was thinking. The window switch bezel should be interchangeable, so you only need a right side shadow grey handle, regardless of LHD or RHD.

no no just the door handle.

oo I see cause I was about to say howed you pull that off well that still sucks should be the same screws and the passenger side

 

[JustinGotA1j]

Thanks for the ideas and info everyone. I'll get back to everyone with what I found out since I'm sure I wont be the only person who ever needs to know this info on interchangeability of the handles in LHD vs RHD. Thanks!

My driver's side one is broken as well. The little plastic cup broke off. Not really noticeable. I just use the the door latch pocket to close the door and make sure no one touches the handle.
