Hyundai Matrix inner door handle replacement


In my 2014 posting I had the driver and rear right passenger inner door replace: http://ritzzuan.blogspot.my/2014/06/replacing-hyundai-matrix-inner-door.html until today both are working good.

And yesterday I had the left side passenger inner door handle replace. I use the spares I have, the OEM from Taiwan. Surprise that it can't fit in well. The screw not align with the hole. I have trouble mounting it and end up a broken bracket.

So I bought the original handle instead. The top piece is from Taiwan and bottom is the original from Korea ( RM45/pc )


The inner looks, the Taiwan looks flimsy but hey...what you pay is what you get!



The final installation, looks great !
