    In the moment, when there was the Black Friday or Cyber-Monday or whatever sale, I self-shamed myself into buying it since I'd posted elsewhere on TW that I would buy a legit, matched replacement. A dude is only as good as his honest word, right? I can't wait to be on this thread boasting about how much I love it....

    ....whenever that happens.

    I have a an extra harness in my driver-side A-pillar for MESO's puddle pods. The extra harness makes it a tight fit in the lower part of the A-pillar. Anyone imagine that being a problem with these assist-handle replacements?

    I don't think it will be much different the the OEM as far as space wise but without having one, hard to tell

    I'm sure there are a lot of people that have the same set up as you in that location

    :rofl::rofl:


    It looks like a couple folks posted up premature reviews on the website based on that message?

    Maybe you getting that means that some background action might be going on?

    I hope so. Maybe I'll just forget about it again and it will just show up on my door in a few weeks... or months... year :pumpkin::tumbleweed:

    she posted that China was delayed from Covid, and now back on.

    she was waiting for the final to install on her truck, and now that's done.

    her latest update predicts mid-October... yikes!

    Yes. The last texture issues caused a 1mo slide. The problem is that there has been nothing noted about that "Product Production" date or after. If things are still on schedule (unknown), the parts should be at her door on Monday?

    I ordered a few days before last Chistmas so mid-Oct is looking pretty good from here. :)

    Hope it’s all on schedule. On the bright side, we might even get the grab handle before OVT 2.0 final, final :thumbsup:

    Thanks!


    So, mid-November is feeling more like it? Early Christmas present.
