Dorman - HELP Exterior Door Handle P/N:77220
Replace a broken or loose outside handle with the Dorman - HELP Exterior Door Handle 79101, a front left door handle for the 1997-2005 Buick Park Avenue, 1997-1999 Buick Riviera and 1997-1999 Oldsmobile Aurora. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, built to match the original handle for far less than a trip back to the dealership.
This outside door handle is the part you pull to operate the door latch from outside the vehicle. Dorman engineered it to mirror the stock handle's fit and appearance on the vehicles it is cataloged for.
Signs an exterior door handle may need replacing include a cracked or snapped handle, a handle that feels loose, or a door that won't release when the handle is pulled. A door that won't open can also come from the linkage or latch, so confirm the handle is the failed part before ordering.
