Aron Nance Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) We all know that they only made a little over 25,000 Cutlass convertibles from 1990-1996, and parts are new parts are hard to com by. I just found out that MotorMite (Dorman) makes/offers both left and right door handles, complete. As I have been told by several, these items are somewhat frail, and can break easily. I have also been told one might want to purchase a couple to have, "just in case". I just did! At CarQuest (where I work) the P/N's are: MTM 77176 MTM 77175 I'm sure any reputable auto parts store will be able to order them, Special Order for you. I doubt seriously they will have them on the shelf. Aron Edited August 18, 2012 by Aron Nance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White92Cutlass Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Good info. Also, Cutlass coupe door handles are interchangeable with the Cutlass verts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss427 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 FWIW I just removed a Chinese-made auto part store handle from my vert today and replaced with a genuine GM piece. The aftermarket handles I have dealt with were such garbage with regards to fit finish and lifespan that I won't use anything else anymore. I suppose they're a good last resort, but if you can find them at your local u-pull for $5.00 I think it's a much better approach in the long run.
