door handles

[digglesworth]

Anyone use any of the aftermarket door handles as replacements. Broke another end cap the other day so I'm thinking about just ordering a set of 5 new ones to replace all my bedlined ones that are bubbling and peeling cause dupli-color sucks... Just curious as to the quality... Rock auto has Dormans for like $16/ea and there's some other brands on eBay for roughly the same price...

I got a set in black of the Dormans from Rockauto to replace the chrome ones on my new T. Perfect fit, work fine and no issues at all. Have had them on now for about 8-9 months.

I bought an aftermarket cap off ebay. I don't know how long it will last, but it has been 3 or 4 years now. Seeing as how I got about 7 out of the first one I won't be able to tell about reliability for another few years?

i bought one or two oem caps off ebay in the past for less than $10/ea... but my issue is two-fold... broken cap AND peeling and bubbling bedliner on all the handles... so for less than $100, ill just replace em all...

I got a broken one for sure, and several are beat up from tree rubs. I like Recon's fix for them.
