Where can I get an oem tailgate handle?!
The tailgate handle broke off of my 93 Bravada. I replaced it with one of the dorman help! handles. It is slightly different but I just wanted a working handle. It worked well for about a week but wouldn't lock on its own which was slightly annoying. A couple days ago I went to open the gate and the handle turned all the way to the right and would not catch. I know something has come apart on the inside, as the replacement handle just barely caught the rod inside the gate to begin with. I decided I wanted to just look for an original because I don't want to have to constantly open the interior panel to fix this problem. I know I could go to the junkyard but at this point it's not very convenient. So I looked on a gm parts site and they did not have this piece listed anywhere. On the diagrams/illustrations where they show the parts and give the part number the handle was in the diagram but did not have a part number on it. Why?! I imagine this part is needed quite a bit. Why can't I find one anywhere?! Does anyone know where I can get one without going to a junkyard?
Heres the diagram.... Notice how the handle is there but not acknowledged as something you can purchase.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
