Default My fix for a broken driver's side door pull

Just a post to give others an idea or two. So my Crossfire came to me 9 days ago with the driver's side door pull broken into 5 pieces and dried glue all over the holes in the door card. While I was thinking about how to bond all the plastic together, I saw a Crossfire owner on youtube refer to the same failure on his Crossfire as "the unintentional door pull delete", where he noted the extra leg room given by the missing pull was actually an improvement. This gave me the idea of coming up with some kind of soft pull solution, and today looking around my hall closet I found some left over webbing from one of my many backpacks. So first I cleaned up the glue as best I could on the door card, then I took the two cylindrical portions of the door pull that the screws pass through and cleaned them up with a dremel. Next I measured out some left over webbing to allow for a pull that has enough reach for me from sitting in the driver's seat. I then heated up my soldering iron and rounded out two holes on either end of the webbing, taped up the ends of the webbing with electrical tape to prevent fraying and then passed the screws through the new holes in the webbing and then through the screw holes in those original cylindrical portions, I then bolted/screwed both of the screws into the door card, here you see the results. Hope this given anyone else in the same bind and idea.
