New aftermarket inside door handle vs original side by side comparison
Broke my interior driver's handle off the other day and wasn't sure if the aftermarket were as good of quality as the originals.
The aftermarket is close, mounts perfectly, but isn't quite identical.
Handle is somewhat thinner and the pull isn't as smooth.
Figured this might help anyone looking for a perfect replacement. You'll need to find an original!

Good to know,great info!!
Another reproduction part that's not quit right
.Why can't these things be made exactly like the originals?,are they just skirting patent rights
