SOURCE: Replacing The wiper arm on a 2001 Nissan Quest

Removing and replacing the wiper arm is a very technical and delicate affair. If you don't handle with care you may get your windscreen broken. I advice you let an expert do this for you.

Good luck.

SOURCE: how do I remove the door panel to a 1993 Nissan pickup

Look for screws on the bottom of the door and inside the door handle there might be one on the arm rest to ....after doing that feel for the plastic stud that hold the door panel on ... once removing the panel you will see plastic covering the hole door remove that only near the top left hand side ( or right if your replacing the passenger side).... you will then see a a hole big enough for your hand to go through ...remove your door handle nuts from there be careful not to drop the nuts .... there will be a rod that goes to the door handle on the inside remember the way it clips on or take a picture your choice ...... removing the lock from the door handle is easy once it has been removed from the door ... i would practice removing the lock from the spare part to get some kind of idea on how to remove the lock ......If this helps please vote

I seriously doubt that supergluing or even epoxying a handle back will hold at all, or hold for more then few days.
I would only suggest doing the replacement yourself if you familiar with this type of work, or has the aptitude to figure out how to do it, and have the right tools because it is NOT trivial and a number of things can be done wrong, broken or scratched.
The handle itself cannot be replaced. The outside door handle assembly (which includes the handle, the bezel with all associated springs, plastic and metal hardware) has to be replaced. Besides junkyards, which is a long shot for number of reasons, the only place where the handle assembly can be bought is the dealer. And these handle assemblies are not cheap ether. The driver side handle on my 2002 Altima broke first. I paid $60.23+tax, and they had to order it. BEFORE anyone goes to the dealer I suggest to call first, and ask them if they have it in stock. Since door handles are sold painted they will ask you for your car's VIN number so that they match the paint color.
After you pick it up, the replacement will take about an hour (if you know what you doing). The inside door panel has to be removed, it is held in place by the inside door handle and the panel is attached by a number of clips, the handle assembly is attached to the door by three bolts, to remove which you will need a socket with extension. You will also need a good flashlight so you see what you are doing.
If you are familiar how to do this type of work and plan to keep the car for a while I strongly suggest buying a factory service manual on a CD (I bought mine on eBay for under $10). It is worth its price 1000s of times over, and makes almost ALL repair work SOOO much easier.
