Review on FAERSI 2Pcs Front Rear Driver & Passenger Side Interior Door Handle Replacement for 97-01 Toyota Camry in Beige/Tan by Joe Griggs

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Can't argue with the price

I hate plastic parts on cars. Door handles served "to infinity and beyond". Now a few years later you see a crack in the bottom of the doorknob and it's a message to order a new one because soon you'll be pulling down the window and reaching for the outside knob to open the door. . Very annoying. In this inflationary age when everything seems to be increasing in price, I was surprised to see a pair of these door handles for my 1998 Toyota Camry for only $10. Wonderful! Why a pair, because you know that if one grip fails, the other will catch up. I replaced the driver's door handle last summer. You should definitely review how to make repairs before you begin. I made the mistake of attaching the doorknob and putting the whole door back together before trying to open the handle. When I did, he didn't open the door. I had to disassemble the door again and trim the length of the bar connecting the handle to the latch. It's easy to do once you know how. If you don't know how to do it, it can be frustrating to say the least. All of this means that a genuine Toyota part is likely to work without the need for adjustment. But God knows what it might cost. I did not rate the OEM part. After I made the adjustment, everything is fine. I had to check it before putting the panel back in place. I won't be able to talk about durability for a few years. Here's hoping it lasts that long.

Pros
  • Body and trim
Cons
  • Expensive
