    I didn't try...just trashed the set. The part (whatever it's called) was much thinner than oem. Surely this has been improved...I hope.

    i have first hand experience with the reproduction handles.

    beware of the cheap repros, they suck. they're what i got first. the internal parts were really flimsy so i decided to swap the old guts in the new handles. even then they were a bad fit. i have the feeling they had a slightly wrong curve. when the driver door got stuck last week, i decided to replace them.

    the more expensive repro parts are sold as 'concourse' mustang parts and made by scott drake. they went in today and were a perfect fit.
