I've gone to every parts store and two dealerships and I've spent who knows how long online trying to find a part number for the bushing on the drive side door handle. It's a plastic bushing that is supposed to be replaced if removed...

Here is a picture of it.



It is the bushing in the top right section #4. If some one knows the part number or where I can get one PLEASE let me know. I've seen it talked about dozens of times on here but no one mentions the part number or where the hell I can find one. I have been opening my door from the passenger side for almost a week now. And it's getting kind of old.

Thanks!

Sweet baby Jesus. Thank you VERY much. Just ordered some.

THANKS!!

 

FYI that bushing is possibly the most annoying thing on my Civic. I avoid detaching it from the handle at all costs, so this means some real gymnastics when I have to remove the outer door handle.

 

I've always removed the rod from the other end and then pulled it from the outside but mine just broke one day when I went to open my door. I've bought so many generic plastic bushing/clip kits and nothing worked. I even made my own which worked but popped out the second I put the door card back on

 

The part came in today. Holy ****. I love being able to open my door again lol.

Thanks again!

 

Why remove the bushing? If you remove the 10mm bolts from the handle and get a 90 degree or loop hook tool to remove the c clip in the lock the handle will come out and spin off the rod.

 

I didn't remove it. It broke off. If I'm ever doing anything in there besides fixing a window that fell off track I'm usually replacing the door handle. I just pull everything out at once when that happens.
