Ok, so my passenger side door handle broke a few months ago, i have a replacement but its at my parents house, while im stuck at school for a couple more days...for the past 1.5 months or so, i just have been using a makeshift handle, on the pass side, i extended the rod that opens the door and just been pushing on that to open the door, well the door got jammed because the extra long rod got shut in the jamb..  i was able to open the door...however.. now the passenger side door handle doesnt work from the inside...it works on the outside....

Any ideas why the inside handle doesnt work?  I haven't pulled the door pannel off yet, but i just wanted some tips to look for certain things, is there adjustments for this like the outside handle?  Please let me know,  thanks!!

You just have to pull the panel, just some rods that go to the latches and are held on with plastic or metal clips one probably broke or fell off.

get a whole Z34 door, this will fix everything, the Z34 is a FAR superior machine by comparison and was built out of better manufactured parts with more care and concern with attention to detail. hahaha ya right.

doorpannels arent bad, it takes me about 3 - 5 mins to get one off of my lumi
