Door Handle is cracking -

All of the door handles on my 2013 4Runner are cracking, probably due to the humidity down here in S Florida. Does anyone know how to replace that piece of the handle that's chipping? Anyone know of the part #? Thanks

Door handles are surprisingly easy to pop off and replace. They’re exposed to the sun so they eventually go funky.

Because of how far my tires poke out I’m constantly chipping paint or hitting them with rocks causing the plastic to crack. They’re usually 30 dollars each and come paint matched. Really easy to swap out and don’t require removing the door panels.

So don’t fret.
 
I think the cracking is due to the fact that South Florida has tons of humidity and rain. Sometimes, you go outside and it feels like a sauna. Anyway, I found some handles on eBay for about $65 a piece.

69210-35190-B0 is there a replacement video for front and rear door handles?
I have the 2010 4runner Limited smart key entry. I'm in California and mine have fine cracks also.
 
I actually bought them of off E-Bay. I had to specify the color code and they painted them for me for like $55.00. I do not see them offered anymore but I would think you could juts have yours painted at a body shop or buy black ones from E-Bay and have them painted and stick them on?

Can you post pics of what the covers look like on your truck?
 
I'm digging this thread up a bit as my handles were showing signs of this a bit this spring but in a matter of the past few months have gotten pretty bad.

From what I see they only sell the complete handles even though it looks like that outer part is just a 'cover' of sorts.

I looked at the link for the covers but was not a fan of the style/colors that offer.

I am fine going OEM, but it did not look like a simple replacement from the Youtube video I saw.

How hard are these to replace and is there a better solution or quicker fix for this issue? Thanks!
 
I’m getting ready to do this on my 13 limited. I’ve been using some Amazon handle covers that now are looking like shit.

The front handles and cover appear to be removable without removing the inner door panel.

The rear handles it appears will require removing the inner plastics, but we will see.

When I get all the parts I’ll take a few pics and report back. Doesn’t look to be a difficult install.

For those looking to replace with OEM, are you going to replace with chrome or color match? I have had trouble finding the part numbers for the chrome OEM handles. I can only find the color matched.
