Default Passenger Door

Curious as to if this has happened to anyone else.. The screws the hold my interior door handle to the door have broken. Basically my door panel rips off anytime anyone tries to close the door form the inside. This is extremely frustrating.

Does anyone know a mod to fix this? Know anywhere to get a replacement?
I already tried local used auto places to no avail.

Any help is appreciated.

Are you sure its the door handle? Maybe the arm rest screws that hold the panel to the door? Is the plastic broken there? A simple fix is to use larger screws through an additional reinforcement to hold the plastic inner door panel in place.I used a "mending plate" from the hardware store,cut it to size and installed it on top of the factory mounting location,used new larger hardware and was able to put the cover back in place!
