Handles look and work great after difficult install
Product was well made but has design flaw. If you've installed these you know the difficulties in the tight space and the poor Jeep shim design. Problem with these aftermarket handles is that the retaining channel the shim is suppose to slide thru is way too wide and, that sloppy alignment renders installing nearly impossible. Removed and tightened shim retainer clip with a hammer. Rounded the shim edge bottom with a grinder to allow sliding thru retainer clip easier. Hard to explain but if you do this install pay attention that shims will slide down and stay 90 degrees to outer door metal before attempting final install !!! Handles work and look great!

Good replacement parts
4 stars because they’re Crown Automotive and of course one didn’t fit the hole in the door so I had to file down the “teeth” a little to get it to seat right. Other than that I’m satisfied.
