    My dude, I bought that same shit for mines about a year ago. It wouldn't even fit right. The hook things ended up breaking on me. Definitely not OEM. But considering the dealer was trying to charge me $29 for it I figured to go the cheap route. And I got what I paid for.

        I bought a pair for $15 off of eBay, and they lasted quite a while.

              I too bought a $6 ebay door handle. It took about half an hour of trimming with an exacto knife and filing to get the tabs to even fit into the slots in the door. After all that, it still won't slide back, and doesn't line up properly at all. I've heard good things about the JCWhitney handles, but the photos on their website make it look exactly like the one I got from ebay.

              Also, there's no recess or decal that says "Lock," which bugs me because I am anal retentive. Kinda looks like I'll just be dropping $30 on one from the dealership. Annoying, but would have saved me about an hour of dicking around and weeks of having a broken handle in between sessions of working on it.

                I've bought a total of three $7 door handles off ebay. The first is going on at least 2 years. Never had any problems with fitment, install, whatever. Do you just rip on your door handles when you get out? It doesn't take much force to open them...

                  The OEM ones break in the cb ALL the time.

                  I believe it is one of the most trouble parts besides the main relay.


                  Why would a $5 knock off do better if OEM breaks!??!?

                  LOL

                    I think its more of the age of the door handle actually. They do break but thats pretty much after 15 or 20 years afterwards when the plastic is all brittle and shit.

                    I believe if you buy OEM brand new it should hold up... Them knockoffs just don't fit right (and end up breaking) sometimes. Its just hit or miss with those really.

                        I have the JCWhitney ones, fit like a glove and stronger than I expected. I have been (ab)using them for a little while now with no signs of cracking. They do have the LOCK detent as well. I can snap a photo if anyone is interested?

                            Sorry it doesn't have the spot for the word lock... I don't know what I was thinking.
                            Otherwise it is solid.

                              Dam that's pretty clean. So they offer different colors?
