🚀 Tailgate Handle Latch and Bezel Trim Kit with Clips - Direct Replacement for 15997911, 15228539, 15228541, 15228540 - Fits Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500, 1500HD, 2500, 2500HD, 3500 Review

This replacement grip and frame was very thin, the tabs broke off during installation. There was a big difference in weight and overall the build wasn't what I expected. The control rods do not slide into the brackets. I will not order anymore.

Almost identical to the original. Attaching the two existing bars to the assembly is difficult due to limited access, which is a tailgate design issue. The top mounting clips are too long at the shoulder so the bezel will not sit flush at the top once installed, but will not detach on its own.

I bought my 2006 Chevy Silverado PU brand new and had problems with the tailgate latch almost from the start. Repaired once under warranty but have attempted to repair a few times since. This bolt seems to have solved the problem. It was very easy to install and now the tailgate can be opened with one hand! I can't thank you enough.

After ordering a rear door handle and bezel replacement I received an email from GWA Auto Parts saying they would send me PDF copies of the repair if I sent them the year, make and model of my car send manual . I wanted to make sure I didn't break the tabs on top of the bezel from improper installation. I emailed them the information and received a response in less than an hour. Quality parts that are easy to install!

The old trunk handle latch on my Silverado still worked and was intact, but the trim panel was broken and one of the clips broke from time to time. I decided to swap out the entire batch as the handle lock was included. It took less than 5 minutes to remove the old handle latch and replace with a new one, attach the clips and reattach the bezel cover. Everything fits perfectly and without any problems. I can open the tailgate again with no problems and it looks great!

This was the correct product and came with plastic tabs to connect it. First try to insert the rod into the plastic part and it will break. Now I've had to order replacement caps which cost almost the same and I don't get them until Saturday. I'm sure when I get the replacement plugs everything will go smoothly and everything will be fine, but it's still a hassle and a waste of money. But do you know what you're gonna do?

Although I had to unscrew the trunk trim because GM hid the bottom screw underneath it took 1/2 hour to replace. I had to drill out the center of the clamps a bit to get the rod in. Overall, it's nice to have a working tailgate again. I gave it 4 stars because as others have mentioned the plastic clips are a bit cheap. But since my 2005 truck has 210,000 miles on it, I'm sure these clips will outlive the truck even though it's running great. I have a new Silverado but I still love my old…

The handle itself went in easily. It seems heavy and expensive to make. The problem I had was setting the bezel. During installation, both tabs at the top edge of the bezel broke off. It's not entirely clear whether this was the result of an oversight or a misstep on my part, and in all honesty it was probably the latter. What made me give five stars is the customer service I received. I'm following the instructions in the package to send text messages with questions. I received a robocall…

This is another GM trait: poor design, engineering, and material for this app. BE WARNED! I blame GM for this most despicable design. I'm a GM fan. was, is and still is. But that is beyond ignorance. I only bought one to test stuff and I'm happy with this version, but I recommend buying 2 or more (they're cheap) if that also fails. This does not mean it is a defective replacement. You can only do what drives GM, so I don't hold the replacement company responsible in any way. My wife loves her…
