    Default Fairmont Interior Door Handle Question

    I need to replace the interior door handles on my 79 Fairmont Futura. Pictures of the replacement door handles for the high location Mustangs look exactly the same as mine. Anyone know if the later 83-93 will work?

    Thanks, Kelly

    Kelly, I think I have some good Fairmont interior handles you could have very cheap, unless your heart is set on new.

    Thanks, Mike
    I have 4 of them now, they open the door but the springs are broken and the handles flop around. I decided to order one from LMR and see if it fits. If not I'll be contacting you.

    Don't see why they wouldn't be the same.

    The interior handle p/n's are the same per the Ford parts catalog so you're all set.
    1985 Mercury Marquis LTS... "The Unicorn"
    1978 Fairmont... 306 and a C4.

    I suspected as much. Find out tonight when the part arrives.

    Thanks

    Installed the new handle, fits perfect! It's a Dorman product, should be able to get it at any parts store.

    Don't you just hate it when you buy a "special" part from internet "specialty" retailer and it turns out to be something you could have gotten locally for half of what the "specialty" retailer sold it for? Happened to me last year when I bought new locks for the McLaren doors.

    I checked with Auto Zone, O'Rileys and CARQUEST (where I bought parts for 30 years for my business) none were cheaper than LMR. Surprised me.
