Subject:BROKEN SLIDING DOOR HANDLE ON '81

<P>The plug can be interchanged from the broken handle to the replacement handle, but it is a good bit more involved.&nbsp; Frequently I find the retaining screw holding the plug into the housing so corroded that it must be drilled, and a taper pin must be installed as a replacement.&nbsp; In addition, the return spring can be rather difficult.&nbsp; It can be done, though.</P>
