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. :-)

Fit nice and works good well made

Installation was easy, the old one came right out and the new one with a bit of an angling was able to get right back in. This part of the product worked as designed, however after putting the door back onto the jeep, checking to ensure it worked properly the first pole worked just fine. I was able to open and close the door the very second time the handle is snapped in half so I’m very disappointed with this product as I spent all the time installing it just for it to break on its second operation of the doorhandle. When inspecting the broken parts, I found a lot of porosity and air bubbles inside the plastic.

Fit perfect on 1997 Jeep TJ. Only thing I had to do was ream out the upper (lock actuator) clip with a 5/32 drill bit to get tue rod end to go in. It was a little tight and wouldn’t allow the rod to go in. It didn’t take much. I was able to drill it out by hand After that, it went in perfectly.

Looks to be good quality and will last, only issue was had to make small adjustments (drill hole bigger) to connectors as they didn't fit the door rods.

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)

Fot perfect, Its hard plastic, One handle broke when it was cold outside.

old jeep was wore out, these fit perfect. MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE CORRECT ONE ON THE CORRECT SIDE. Nearly impossible to remove without tearing up

Fit on my 2012 wrangler with no issues.

so far these open my doors on my Jeep TJ great

Despues de 3-4 meses han funcionado sin problemas, la etiqueta blanca si viene al revés

Fits great, good quality. Pain to install but not he products fault, lots of youtube videos available to support. Highly recommend, jeep looks new from the side with clean door handles again!

TODO BIEN, MIL GRACIAS ...
