Gledewen Interior Door Handles (Pair), Compatible with Jeep Wrangler 1987-1996 YJ, 1997-2006 TJ, Inside Front Left Driver & Right Passenger Side | Replaces# 79540, 79541 Inner Handle Set

I bought three different pairs of interior door latches for my 2006 Wrangler, because I was trying to find a set that had the "LOCK" label painted on the correct side of the rocker switch. On that count, I failed: All of the latches currently available on Amazon are labelled incorrectly.(However, that isn't a fatal flaw, imho. I'll simply remove the painted-on label with a bit of lacquer thinner, and paste my own "X" with a Dymo printed label on the correct side of the rocker.)Still, I thought others might be interested in a comparison of the three I purchased. I bought 1) a set from I AM Auto Parts, for $21.95 at the time of this review; 2) a pair from PT Auto Warehouse for $16.80; and 3) this pair, from Gledewen from $14.58.(Oh, and note that the photo on Amazon for the I AM Auto latches is **not** accurate. I.e., the photo shows the correct labelling, but the latches you receive will be incorrect.)The first two, from I AM Auto and PT Auto are identical in every respect: same fittings, same stampings on the back ("KOA LH" and "KOH RH"), same color connectors, everything. The only difference is the plastic envelopes they are shipped in. The third, from Gledewen, has a finish that's a tiny bit more matte and less shiny than the other two, and there is no stamping to indicate a part number or country of origin. I prefer the matte, and I figure they're all Chinese anyway.In addition, these from Gledewen are slightly heavier. The first two weigh 55 grams per latch; these weigh 65 grams. I realize that weight is not necessarily an indicator of strength, but I'm hoping that it is. The weak point on Jeep latches is the pull lever: When they go bad, they'll break off in your hand, and then you have to roll down the window and reach outside to get out of your Jeep.Note that I did *not* choose on the basis of price; the $7.50 difference is pretty inconsequential, considering the real cost (and pain) with these things is the installation process; if I knew for certain that one type of latch was going to last a lot longer on my 15-year-old Jeep, I'd happily pay twice as much. But, of course, none of them offer that kind of guarantee.That being said, Gledewen is also the only seller that advertises a warranty. They say they'll replace the latches for 24 months, at no cost; the others are mute on that subject.The Gledewen latches were installed today; I'll update this review if my gamble about the weight difference proves to be a bad bet. :-)

Jeep engineers let the rookie engineer design the way these door handles are installed...... They are painful to install but this product is Incredible for the price. Installation has nothing to do with this product. Its all on Jeep. So if you need to replace these handles I HIGHLY recommend these! They are solid metal, and fell / look sturdy. the interior lock is also included and they are plastic. (like OEM) they are not flimsy and they fit perfectly. Great deal on a great product. (Product paid for and praised by me)

It functions as it should. Easy to install.

Installed it and handle broke off first try. 1st try! The OEM made it 20 years this Crap made it 15 seconds. I am not returning it because I took it apart and use the spring to repair my EOM and put it back in. This is plastic toy CRAP. Don't buy it unless you want the spring and the fasteners for the rods. Those have worked for me more than three times.

Installed the jeep door handle and it broke after first use , waste of money, on star because there is no other option

Hope they last... feels like cheap plastic, doubt the strength of them. Haven't installed yet, not sure if I will.They're soo light, I question the durability...I'm selling the jeep, they'll go with it.

fit fine for my jeep yj half doors

Same as the original

It was exactly as I expected

Didn’t install it on my wrangler yet but it looks just like OEM

Would buy again

Fit très bien et simple à installer
