It is an affordable alternative to a dealership part, and Dorman designed it to look and work like the handle the van left the factory with.
- Matching appearance: Designed to look and function the same as the original handle on the listed vehicles.
- Seamless replacement: Built to the dimensions and specifications of the handle originally installed on the vehicle.
- Excellent value: Original equipment quality for less than a dealership handle.
- Position specific: This handle is for the right rear cargo door, so check that it matches the side and position of the handle you are replacing.
An outside door handle is the exterior grip you pull to operate the door's latch mechanism, so the door can be opened from outside the vehicle. Signs it may need replacing include a handle that is cracked, broken or loose, or one that no longer releases the latch when pulled. Because a latch or linkage fault can cause similar symptoms, diagnose the cause first. If the handle itself has failed, this unit replaces it.
