Ebay... look for explorer and handle.. They are usually < $15.

Most the parts on ebay are from a company called www.1aauto.com

I have their handles on both sides... they are a tad beefier then stock (~1/16" thicker), and comes primer'd so you can paint it.

I just used model glue on mine, it seems to have done the trick, it's been glued on for 2 years and i haven't had any problems with it.

Let me make a suggestion.... after you put the new handle on (mine broke on the driver's side and I managed to find a complete door panel... when the passenger side went, I could only find the handle which was a bit trickier to replace...) anyway, I mixed up a BIG batch of 5 minute expoy and filled in on the inside of the door handles wherer they seem to break. I did this on both doors.

Ditto the epoxy method. I repaired the passenger door about a year ago with an entire tube of 5 ton epoxy. I've stood on the handle since then and not had it break or crack. I filled the backside of the handle and door around the ends where it broke.

driver side here

I used liquid nails on mine about 2 years ago, still holding fine.. used a black magic marker to hide the brown glue that was showing.
