I'm currently working on an '88 IROC i bought that seems plagued with problems. Currently i need to replace the door handle on the inside since it broke. I bought A Chiltons repair manual, but it doesn't say anything about removing/replacing the inner door handle. Does anyone know how to replace it? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

Pop the door panel off, and it's pretty easy to tell how to replace it

 

You just have to drill out the rivet(s) and disconnect the rod. I replaced mine with an aftermarket one. Mistake. Really weak spring and it would not snap back into place. Get one from the OEM or the junkyard...

 

inside door handle costs about 20 bucks at autozone

 

Thank you. I had the panel off and couldn't tell if it cam off from the rivet on the metal bracket, of the pivoting rod through the handle itself.
