1998 Eclipse - DOOR HANDLES?!

it dosent matter if ALL car handles wear out the problem is how to get them fixed! so that we all get on with our lives personally I own a mitsubishi ecltpse. it was a gift and i didnt know how old it was, then all of a sudden my just breaks one rainy day! How? can we get this problem fixed? And Who? can Help us Drivers Out?

bro im going to be hoanest try replacing the hinges and if that dosent work put on these door handles my buddy had this problem and we did both and has not had a problem in over 4 years = ) i hope this helps i will try and get the kind of handles for ya guys i know he orderd them off the net and they were not oem parts they were aftermarket handles i will ask him next time i see him and try to help ya out more sometimes the manufacture has a group of hadles messed up but i dont see how you get 3 or 4 in a row try the hinges first thats your best bet

But hinges in Mitsubishi vehicles wear out faster because their total load
bearing surfaces are smaller than in other cars. Show me a 9 year old
Volvo, BMW, Saab with worn hinges bwah ha ha ha.

...

Breaking three suggests there's another problem, and it probably that the
door hinges (mostly the top one) have worn out. The door does not hang or
latch without binding, and the force needed to open the door exceeds the
design load of the handle.

Open your door and see how much up-down slop there is ...

Poor quality Mitsubishi door handles combined with inferior Mitsubishi door
hinge metalwork, combined with poor Mitsubishi body stiffness.

...

Please take your bad experience attitude elsewhere: We don't give a rat's
arse.

Hinges in ALL cars, esspecially two doors, wear out, and at 9 years its time
to fix it.
