So yeterday I was leaving work and went to open the third door on my truck so I could slide my boots etc in. The handle broke *@#$%^&**&^*%&$*^&$%*^&, was about what I said.
So I get home and get online to find out some prices

Dealership $137 (complete plastic assembly only)
Recyclers $60 (complete plastic assembly only)
Ebay $12 shipped handle only in aluminum never to break again.

Made me a happy camper.

The snaptogether technology of today cars really irritates me. Sure its lighter etc etc but for longevity it sucks.

I have only used one of those doors a few times. Mine doesn't have them.

I agree on the plastic crap, when I got my pickup dad said the rear sliding window latch would break for sure, even if I was careful with it. sure enough he was right, I went to close it today and the latch part fell off. :smt013
