My passenger door handle broke and you can't open the door anymore from the outside. I bought a new(metal) handle for it but I would like to know how hard a job it's going to be.
I looked in my Haynes manual but I found nothing about handles.

The factory ones look like they are pop riveted on. It looks as if I am in for some drilling.
