Now what?

[thaxman]

Wife handed me this after I got home yesterday.

Anyone else go through this?

Do you mean angry wife? Then yes... (flame2)
Handle? Not yet...

use other door. you can prob fab a leather strap or rope for a temp solution until you get another handle

and it is NOT her fault

 

[Swenny]

Roll down the window and release it from the outside

And this is obviously your fault and not hers

Keep in mind that Porsche charges BIG BUCKS for the lightweight R package that deletes the door handles and replaces them with pull straps. You just saved like ten thousand dollars!

Had an exterior door handle tear off when the door was frozen shut in winter some time ago.

Can it be put back on then? Pretty intensive when compared to the door actuator replacement in the "how-to" subforum?

Mine couldn't because the plastic had broken apart, which I would imagine happened to you, too.

I saw no signs of stressed plastic, so I don't think it broke. I can take pics of the other side if it would help.
