Door handle question

[ars1]

My front drivers door handle broke so I have to roll my window down to get out now...
Question is can I put the one from the drivers rear door in place of it as my kids are in car seats and cant use the inside handles anyway?

for the amount of work it would take to switch it around, even if it would fit, you would be alot farther ahead just getting a new one (or go to the salvage yard)

Had to go through this too, its riveted on btw, so be prepared to drill an aluminium rivit. other than that it just unbolts and unclips. The white metal they use in the handle breaks in the most inconvenient spot :(

It will fit. But its just easier to spend the 25$ on a new one. You pull the trim piece off carefully, drill the rivet, push the entire assembly towards the front of the rig, pull away from door, and then you just push the rods out of the holes on the backside of the handle.
