Rear Glass Exterior Handle

[clochner]

The inside of my handle assembly attached to the rear glass had some rust on it so I attempted to remove it. Both bolts broke inside the exterior handle. Is the dealer the best way to get this part or is there another option?

Thanks for the help.

How wierd, the same thing is rusty on my '08 model! Yes, best bet is to just get a new one from the dealer.

I'll get one from the dealer. I don't think there is a good seal between the inside of the handle and the outside. Also think the defrost option during the winter season creates excess moisture.

Have a good one.
