Door Handle

[tomsawyer]

Hey Guys - I have a 2005 4.4i. When I tried to install a new carrier, I unfortunately "stripped" the part of the handle whereby you "twist" and push in the one end and screw in the other end. That other part, the one you twist, has that black part with the 2 end pieces and those 2 end pieces which holds that part of the handle connected to the door is now gone.

Do any of you have a suggestion of how to update or repair that black part so that when I pull on the handle that side of the handle doesn't completely pull out the way it does now? I really don't want to buy a new, exterior handle.

Thanks to all who answer.
