Dorman 77187 Interior Door Handle Compatible with Select Cadillac/Chevrolet/GMC Models, Textured Gray; Paint to Match

Imagine my surprise when I pulled up to work, put the truck into park, removed my seat-belt and when I went to open the door the handle snapped off? I paused for a second to wonder why had this door handle come off in my hand? Could it be that my wishes came true and I am now as strong as Superman? Upon further inspection I realized that it had been cracked and just gave way, so no superman here! I was still kind of confused, how was I to get out without having to climb over to the passenger side? Again I was kind of in a confused fog of early morning, a door handle in my hand, coffee not yet consumed and realizing that my superman fantasy was without merit, so please excuse the fact that it took again a pause of deep thought... "Oh, roll the window down and use the exterior handle you doofus!" Believe it or not, I managed to make it into the office without any further issues and right to Amazon.com I went. In the past every part I've received from them has been perfect and priced right. This Dorman Door handle did not let me down, with prime I had it fast and the actual install is a breeze. The worst part was removing the door panel, but if you search Youtube for "How To Install Repalce Inside Door Handle Chevy GMC Pickup Truck" you'll find plenty of videos that will walk you through the process. It is a perfect match to the factory part and everything lined up correctly without issue. Thank you Amazon, for the Right Part at the Right Price!

A year ago, the front passenger inside door handle broke. Apparently, this is a common problem. I was able to locate the correct replacement handle. Recently, the drivers side broke. I looked up previous purchases and found a record of the first purchase. It also gave me the part number for the drivers side that enabled me to order the replacement for the drivers side with out having to look anything else up. Both times, the part arrived quickly and matched the Tahoe's interior perfectly. Both handles were easy to replace, fit perfectly and worked as they should. The passenger side, over a year later still works as it should and looks great.

My original issue: i had too much slack in the the wire linkage from handle to the lock mechanism. Once I removed door panel and took up the slack, it caused strain on the 27 yr-old plastic of the door handle, so it broke clean. Since this hand-me-down has a newly re-built engine, a newly installed spider-injection system, new sensors throughout, new plugs+wires, battery and brand new starter, anything little thing on this beast is worth replacing, as it's sure to last another 300K+ miles. Easy fix and this was a perfect fit for my 1996 Chevy truck. The color didn't match my blue interior, but who cares... this one got here quicker and was half the price.

Very easy to replace, make sure that you install the mounting rivet back into the door panel before you try to operate the handle. I failed the first time by not doing this, the spring came out of the handle. I was able to get the spring back in with a bit of assistance took 3 hands. This handle matches the old color perfectly. Make sure you have some spare door clips on hand because they tend to break sometimes when removing the door panel.

Half the price of buying at a parts store.. Chevy makes chintzy door handles, so finding them at an affordable price is nice. Fit just as well as OEM, and considering how easily the originals snap off, I am sure it is just as good in quality. Probably the same manufacturer :S

Perfect fit, was easily replaced. Was exactly what I was hoping for

Always go dorman for door and interior parts you can't go wrong Works great for my 1995 Chevy Silverado pickup truck and already lasted way longer than other brands.

This is my second time replacing this part after breaking. The GM part has a very thin area near the pivot point that is prone to fatigue failure (snaps in two). The GM replacment part I used the first time cost over 5x the cost of the dorman part and lasted less than one year. I compared the metal handle castings before installation and can confirm that the problem area is indeed thicker / reinforced on this model. Here's hoping it holds up long term.

So far so good

As described, easy isnstall, direct fit. Excellent shipping. Works great. Watch a YouTube video for hacks to make it easier to install.

Well the product is good and especially for the price, but the white clip for the rods is too big. The handle stops working because the rod falls out with any vibration. It's also a little gay to take all the panels off and take the rivet out every week to make it work again. My truck is 27 year old and I would prefer to only do it once, I've even tried hot gluing it. That is the only complaint about this handle.

Warm the vehicle first, then remove the door panel. This is a weak part in GM. Took 20 minutes to replace with the new one. Can now close and open the door without slamming it. Works and fits perfectly.

I bought the cheaper version originally, i should have just gotten this. The first one broke on the initial open. This one is much stronger than the cheap crappy one.
