It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. It costs less than a dealership part and was engineered to copy the stock handle's fit and appearance on those vehicles.
An outside door handle is the exterior lever you pull to release the door latch from outside the vehicle. A handle may need replacing if it is cracked or broken, feels loose, or moves without releasing the latch. The latch or its linkage can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the handle. Consult the vehicle service information for the removal and installation procedure.
