Front Right Passenger Side Door Handle Replacement for 1995-1999 GMC Yukon Outside Exterior Black Textured GM1311132 15742230

The price was right, good value, and a great fit

This handle is indeed all metal, and is very similar to the OEM handle. I bought from DAT Auto.On the reviews for other door handles, I have seen horror stories about the plastic retainer for the lock cylinder breaking or the hole not being correctly sized and the lock cylinder just falling out. But that is not the case for this handle. I had no problems getting the lock cylinder reinstalled in the handle and keeping it there. It is quite tight, but I think you want it to be. Just be careful squeezing/tapping the lock in and you'll have no issues.The only reason I don't give a perfect rating here, is that it's just a little smaller than the OEM handle. I had problems getting a security plate (Jimmi Jammer) installed because of that. The gasket is also smaller in size and coverage. Because of that, and because I hate having a gap showing part of the cutout in the door, I always use these handles with my old OEM gasket instead. That works quite well, and while the OEM gasket is indeed larger, it's not as noticeable and far less annoying to me than having a gap between the gasket and door because the entire handle is smaller.If you're very careful and exacting, you may be able to position this new handle and gasket exactly so that it is centered in the hole and get it tightened down without moving it. But if you're not, or don't have the time, I just recommend swapping the gasket out for your old OEM one. If you do that, I'd also try a dab or two of contact cement (or similar) somewhere on the back of the handle just to stick on the gasket a bit better while you install it, since the retention pins will be setup in different places.

The handle fit fine after about two plus hours of installation. Getting hands and fingers into a very confined space to attach the lock and opening rods was a chore. I'd have appreciated some instructions or best practices on how to fit the handle to the door. I was trying to avoid taking the power window apart and I did but it took some time to get the handle into position and functioning.

A little smaller than plastic model, but good fit and you don't have to worry about it breaking like the OEM ones. I did have to take sandpaper to the inside of where the lock cylinder goes. VERY tight fit otherwise.PAIN IN THE @$$ to get in, but thats GM's fault.

Very pleased with product and service. Seems to be well made

Great replacement part. However, the key cylinder hole was just a bit small. I had to use a press to squeeze it in. Overall the handle is working just fine.

Looks great

Love this item...
