Got a suzuki grand vitara 1999, broke the rear door handle. Pretty common I hear. So bought one of those unbreakable one from ebay. Broke that too. Are there any other options ?

How old is the unbreakable handle. What ebay seller did you buy it from?

I believe the "unbreakable" handles are marketed by ODA.

There's a design flaw in the OEM handle assembly that allows them to flex & break - the OEM handle uses two pivot pins, and this allows the "fixed" part (that bolts to the door) to flex when you lift the moving part - if the fixed part flexes too much, the moving part breaks - replace the two pins with a single full length pin and you eliminate (or at least significantly reduce) the flex.
