Any idea how to get the front door handle off a 1999 Explorer? I had it all apart today, but can't figure it out. It looks as if the handle might be riveted on based on what the parts look like. Any advice would be appreciated.

Bingo. Rivets it is.

The passenger side handle broke on my 99 recently. Within a week of having some body work done on the right front corner from hitting a deer. So I needed to go by the body shop anyway so I asked them.

I ordered the handle today online: http://www.1aauto.com/1A/DoorHandleE...gn=google_base

It will come in black. I will take it to the body shop for them to paint it gold and install.
