Exclamation Outside Driver Door Handle Doesn't Work

So the outside driver door handle doesn't work, now I know its a plastic clip on a metal rod that goes inside that outside door handle hole.
But the issue is, when it breaks and you roll down the window you have to get a whole new lock actuator part thingy (idk what its called)
My window has been rolled down and bent the rod so does anyone know the part number for the driver door side? I probably will order it on ebay or something.

By the way I have a 1993 Lexus SC400

Completely broken, I went to a junkyard and pulled it from a sc300 because I couldn’t find a part number on it.

Nice , yea my passenger side completely broke. and i just gave up on it because i didn't feel like removing the entire thing and replacing it. so now my passengers get a special treatment from me because i always open the door for them from inside lol. but how difficult was replacing the entire thing? i am thinking about doing the job soon on my free time.

You don't do it yourself
It was so hard trying to get the thing out, and there is a pink clip that was inside the actual lock itself. I read from someone on here or yota tech forums that it took a dealership technician about a couple hours and its a 8/10 hard job for him.
So, I don't think its worth the trouble yourself.
