Do I need to go to a dealership to have exterior door handles fixed or replaced on a 2001 Ford Sport Trac?

Welcome to FTE JenJen11,
Not really most general repair shops can fix it, even body shops.
You may have to go to a dealer to buy handles, or check with many parts
Suppliers that sponsor FTE also.
Look at the top of the page.

Well, I hope you have insurance. Sucks to have that happen. Most shops can do the repair for you. Rock Auto has the door handle available so I'm sure your local parts store can order it also. It would also be possible to install the part yourself if you have some mechanical ability. I did my door lock cylinders myself and it was pretty easy.

Yes I have insurance ($500 deductible). Yes I am mechanically inclined so you've lifted my spirits. Thanks! Any recommendations on glass?

Check out 1aauto.com they have a video on their website showing the process. Basically you have to drill out the rivets and replace with bolts included with replacement handle.

You might try Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market for the glass..... Trouble is "most" salvage yards won't sell the glass separate, they want to sell the whole door.. But that should still be cheaper than your deductible..

Lol so true! Insurance adjuster said today that all damage and cost came to $445.45. So with a $500 deductible, its all on me. I'll definitely look into Car-part.com. Thanks!
