I wondered why I needed that!
My car is broken... The door handle on the drivers side does not open the door from the outside. I have to go around the car, open the passenger side door, lean accross, open the driver side door from the inside, then close the passenger side door and run around the car to get in.
Needless to say, I went shopping for a new door handle. The sales pitch had me laughing pretty hard.
Buick Regal Door Handle - 88 89 2.8L 6 Cylinder Regal Coupe - Front Driver Side Door Handle, Outer, BlackYour Buick Regal door handles are surprisingly important to your vehicle. You may not notice them very often, but a broken door handle can become a serious inconvenience in just a short time. Since they are moving parts that see a lot of daily use, it stands to reason that eventually your door handles are going to become problematic. You may be all right for a short while with getting around doors that won’t open, but soon you are going to want a Regal replacement door handle to restore your vehicle to good working order. After all, it can get tedious to keep crawling over your seats because you can’t open the driver’s side door from the outside, or having to stand out in the rain while you take the extra time to jiggle that dangling door handle into the right position. It does not cost a lot to get a new Buick 1988 - 1989 door handle, so there is no reason to suffer the hassle or inconvenience of inoperable doors. You might also choose to replace your door handles with a brand new set to enhance your vehicle’s appearance, since over time your stock door handles will become scratched, scuffed, and faded with use.
