Drivers Door Interior Door Handle

[300sflyer]

Hi Folks,

The plastic chrome is slowly peeling off the interior door handle, on our 2015 Lacrosse, and the edge of it is actually quite sharp, just waiting to give me or my wife a nasty gash...

I have looked at several websites to try to find a new handle, but it seems that they are only available as part of the entire door panel. Part number 7 seen below.

Anyone have any suggestions as to where to get one?

Doesn't look like the same part to me.

You are kind of stuck with locating the right part, no part# given, on Ebay or a salvage yards if no longer available through GM parts.

I am going to call my local GM dealer tomorrow and see what they say.

Just spoke to the dealer, and the handle only comes with the full interior panel, and is priced at close to $1000 Canadian including tax.

The 4 year warranty expired 10 months ago, so it looks like I am SOL with the dealer....

So I manager to locate a used door panel off of Ebay, and with a bit of ingenuity, I removed the door handle and installed it in my panel. The used panel had a few scratches on it, so I couldn't just swap the entire panel. The entire job took about 1.5 hours, works perfectly, and looks like new again. Sure beats paying the dealer $1000 to make the repair!
