Hey everyone,

Looking for some advice on a repair and clean up on my 99 Cr-V.

Firstly, for advice on my driver's side door handle. The handle is broken on the side closer to the front wheels (picture attached). I can still open the door, but need to press that side of the handle against the car when I do. I'm wondering if I might be able to use adhesive (I've read that GOOP car adhesive might work) since the handle is just broken at the one point or if I should replace the entire handle?

If it is the handle, I seem to be unable to find video or directions for replacing the driver's side door handle for a 1st Gen Cr-v. Any links or directions would be greatly appreciated.

Next, I've got some residue on the driver's side window coming off the window trim (another photo attached). I'm thinking about trying to take some goo gone and a sponge to this but just wondering if there is a better way to remove it?

Lastly, I'm hoping to repaint the cracked metal window trim and wiper blade arms. From looking around Duplicolor Flexible Bumper Coating seems to be the way to go. Anyone disagree with that or have a cheaper option?


Thanks for the info and for the all the help I've received lurking here over the years!
