    Do you mean the door pull or the topside lever that operates the release mechanism to open the door?

    This is drivers side but passenger side is the same. The 2 black posts like to break which use bolts to secure the door pull to the metal door frame. Then you are left with the 5 screws that attach the front of the handle to the 1/8" thick pressboard interior door panel. So thats what happens the 2 black posts break and then you end up ripping the 5 screws in the handle out of the pressboard interior door panel.

    So you just need the handle part 5 screws and 2 bolts. You should also examine your door panel to make sure the 5 screw holes are okay. If not the 2 bolts will do a pretty good job of holding the handle in place but it may pull out from the panel a bit at the front. All 5 screw holes arn't essential but a few good ones would be nice.
