They have the handles in the help section at your local auto parts store. The worst part will be drilling out the factory rivets and using bolts in their place.

Or, you can leave your windows down and do "The Dukes of Hazzard" style entry and exit.

I think those HELP products are made by Dorman. Check their website for any listings before you drive to the store.

By any chance are these the handles you're talking about?

Sounds more like a pain in the hand...
Good luck with the repair. It is a good time to clean out the door and lube all the mechanics while it is apart.
