Default Door Handle?? oh dear

ok well my door handle (inside) broke when trying to get that metal bar out...and well we kinda have a parts car and we're just going to swap the handles out possibly...but how do u do it? like the handles are held in by what looks like melted plastic so...do u just break the seal then re-melt the plastic or just use a lot of super glue?

remove the handleanduse needle nose pliers to break off any remaining glue on the door panel.Use a good 2 part epoxy when you put the new handle on

just remove the exterior door handle and replace it with metal or body filler and then shave it down and paint. then add a actulator and a remote to activate the actulator and then u have shaved door handles and a way to get in
