If you bought your handles already from Delorean One it may be possible that you are getting the same plastic handles that broke on your car. Given that they may be NOS they are not new plastic. Unless D1 re-sells DMCH all metal handles I would not suggest installing them and return them. I used to leave my window open all winter during storage for this very reason.....cold weather and the plastic handles are not a good combination. With my new metal handles I don't have to worry about them snapping off. I'm not expert on repairs but I replaced both my door handled easily to the handles made by DMCH. It makes no sense, unless you are a concours entrant, to reinstall NOS plastic door handles. The metal ones work great, look stock and are all around a better product.....IMHO.
