Im wondering how I can fix it, do I just open the door panel and super glue it back on the black part that hooks into the door? I'm so fustrated and mad at myself. I just need to fix it and don't want to take it into Nissan because they will probably charge me for a new handle and I bet thats expensive. I don't want to spend more than 20 dollars fixing the handle because the car is already kind of falling apart. So if anyone has had this problem and fixed it by yourself please let me know. Its been raining and I don't want the water getting inside the handle. The car handle is still sticking on, the part where the button is to unlock all door with your key is still there. Its just the part next to the key whole that opens your door is broken. Please I need someone's help! Thanks!

I hate to be a downer, but since the original plastic broke, your repair needs to be even stronger. The best glue on the planet won't fix that.
The only possible way to repair such a part is if somehow you can drill it, add a couple of screws or pop rivets, or some other MacGuiver sort of repair which *might* work, or might just break again after spending an hour hacking something together.
Or you just buy the part, crack open a cold beer and swap out the door handle. Personally I've done those sorts of repairs dozens of times, it ain't that hard. The whole door was assembled in about 30 seconds while the car was going down the assembly line.....
