    But on the plus side, a lot of our stuff has to be custom made. Which makes our builds a lot less cookie cutter boring.

    Yesterday after work:

    It's awesome when you come out of the mini mart with your case of beer on the way home from work... to find that your front tire is flat... and then go to open the door and the handle breaks.

    Oh, I totally know that. Not the first time I've had ti replace the handle... or the second... or the third time, for that matter. lol.

    The timing with the flat tire was the ironic part.

    welcome to the club.

    For awhile I had door handle PTSD when going to open the door and fearing that *snap*. I probably open my doors more gently than necessary now, but my last one broke after a weekend of camping with my 8 yr old nephew where he was in/out the passenger side a bunch of times.

    Believe it or not I've had much better luck with the cheaper aftermarket handles than I have with OEM ones. With how easy they are to replace I just get a few of the cheap ones to have on hand in case, it sucks a lot more when you break a $100+ OEM handle, that's for sure.

    Oh, I've been a member of the club for quite a while now. Seems I don't have as much luck with the aftermarket ones as you. I looked back at my previous orders. This handle was ordered in November of last year.

    I feel like my door is either slightly crooked or the mechanism is wonky. I have always had to pull harder on the far right side of the handle to get it to “pop” open. All the other doors open much earlier and more smoothly.

    If it wasn’t for whatever Is going on with it I’d still have a handle.
