Default driver door outside will not open

a 92 ls 400 and the driver door on the outside will not open the door, but the inside is working fine. i opened up the door panel, and I see the plastic thing on the metal rod that connects to the door hardware is broken. I tried plastic cable ties but it broke a few weeks later. They dont sell the plastic thing at auto part store and junk yard dont have that car. What can I do to fix it?

are you talking about the snaps that connect the metal rods to the front outer door handle? Lexus sells them separately.

use the part number for the color snap you're replacing. approx price is $2-3.50/each (list).

Dude, get a new one from the dealer like PD said. Nice and cheap. Don't put old brittle plastic back on.
