You can buy a replacement metal door handle instead of the cheesy plastic one from many companies. I bought one for the driver's side door on my car, it was like $20 and all you have to do is pull off the door interior panel (take out a few screws, pull off), then you drill out the old rivets, put the handle in place, acquire a rivet gun (can buy one for cheap or rent one) and rivet the new one in place. There is only one rod connected to the handle so it's super easy to replace.
Good luck.
