## Description

Product description

Review: Better than OEM! Super solid and fixed my door 100%. 2002 Sienna. - This should be your first place to fix the issue of the cable seeming to stretch out, even if the old handle is not snapped broken. Worn down OEM handles will fail to open the door even if not fully snapped apart inside. The plastic in the OEM and other aftermarket handles flexes too much and makes it hard to get a full pull on the release cable. Eventually the plastic wears out so much the door will refuse to open because there isn't enough cable being pulled. The issue is actually NOT that cable stretching, and just a matter of worn out handle parts. Mine fit in just fine with no alignment issues on a 2002 Sienna. If you are having alignment issues, just send it back for another copy and it might be a good fit. Seems to be a little variation in tolerances. I did have to bend the spot that holds the release cable in place so the two sides were a tiny bit closer together. If the cable is too far pulled out when the handle is at resting position, the door will not unlock because the door latch will block it from operating if the handle/cable are pulled too tight. By shortening the amount of cable pulled out to attach it to the handle, mine now locks and unlocks. I can notice the massive difference in stiffness with the all-metal handle over the OEM ones. It's an instant engagement with the release cable. The OEM handle could just barely release at the end of the handle travel when it was working. I might feel comfortable putting the large door panel back on now that I don't have to crawl back and release it by hand when it gets stuck like before.
