How can I fix a Toyota Sienna door handle?
I’m not sure how but the exterior door handle on my Sienna broke yesterday. I would prefer to repair it myself rather than pay someone to do it. How do you fix a broken van door handle?

I’m sorry to hear that your door handle is broken. Luckily, it’s easier than you might think to repair it yourself. To fix the exterior door handle on a
Toyota Sienna
, just follow these steps:- Remove the broken door handle by gently twisting and pulling it out of its housing.
- Purchase a matching door handle online through a Toyota parts dealer.
- Locate the circular rubber seal on the inside of the door jamb and remove it.
- Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw inside the seal.
- Pull off the handle’s outer casing.
- Inside the left side of the handle’s housing, you will see a black lever that the handle connects to. Use a string to hook onto the lever.
- Insert the new handle by securing the right side in place then pulling back on the string connected to the lever while fitting the left side into place.
- Pull the string out and test the handle.
- Tighten the screw and replace the black seal.
