I have done it - filed the handle rod, took the broken handle off, and put the new handle on and it stays put. The door handle works - unlocking the door now. Thank you for the advice!
While replacing the handle, I have found what caused the handle to be broken by previous owner. The vertical rod that goes from the handle to the lock (to unlock it) was not fixed to the clip. The previous owner, I guess, pulled the handle too hard...
Well, after I have put it back together, I noticed that the window does not open all the way down and I need to see what causes it. But the second time is much easier to take the door panel off.
