Default Help!!!!

My driver's side door won't open and I can't find a handle anywhere, I called gm and they said it's been discontinued. Can anyone help me find the parts I need so I can fix my car? It's rather embarrassing getting in the passenger side and opening the drivers side door. Also, I need to replace my hinges, can someone please help me find these parts I need? Thanks...

My Camaro is a 2002 Z28, it sucks because I really don't want to get parts like that from a junkyard that will probably have the same wear and tear on them that my car has.... Will earlier 93 and up parts work on my Camaro? Help...anyone???

Not familiar with your hinges, but hinges in general can be repaired with a pin & bushing kit from the Motorite help sections at your parts store. May want to check them for handles.

PM me i have an extra set of driver door hinges off of a door i bought from a car that was hit on the passenger side. they are blue but i doubt that will matter. as far as the door handle what part is broken?? its not a complex peice its only a bracket with a spring that the handle clips onto. as far as the hinges just PM me and ill work somthing out for you they are just collecting dust now. and are you sure its the hinnges? because door sag on these cars is usually due to the fiberglass door shell being cracked from the weight of the door. i made a stainless steel plate to fix mine
