So what do you think, strong plastic or shitty metal?
as you found the dealer had this in stock.. this item is a high failure componet that provides some profit. designed to fail..be careful with the interior handles as these are extremely fragile........with engine off use silicone to lube the rubber this reduces the ability of ice to get a firm grip.........
