Driverside interior door handle busted......

Well, I got my car back from the suspension shop today, and she's riding real nice....but the bastards broke my driverside interior door handle...

I didn't notice it at first, till I got a few blocks away..

Basically, I can move it back (to open-position), but then it springs back past the threshold and into the groove that gives you room to get your hand in there to open it.

So it's broken inside there somewhere.....any ideas oh how to go about fixing this?

I'm guessing either a spring or something got knocked out of place (I hope), or it just all together snapped...the door will not open from inside the car. But I can still open it from the outside..

What do ya guys think?

Check the rod the runs from the interior handle back to the door latch. Possible that it came off somewhere.

Go to a salvage-yard, buy one, should be pretty cheap. I wouldn't pay mroe than 10 bucks for one. I think right and left are the same.
