Vred how well did they fit? Would really like to replace mine.

 Fitted today. They are a 10/10 Perfect fit. So so happy!

 

Removing the handle from the door needs some muscle (see YouTube video for how). Might help is you have 'plastic door panel removing' tools. The power window controls was bloody annoying (destroyed the old one as I cut it up to - then again who cares about the problem one  - 30 mins). Mirror control was a push out (5-seconds). Snap-fit into the new handle and push back in place (too easy).

 

Happy to answer questions, or if anyone is nervous doing it yourself (don't be).

Pictures: White inside is Original. Black insides is from OEM shop. Comes nicely bubble-wrapped, packed with great service.

Same. Was hoping someone had bought replacement online. Has to be a common issue. 

Have you got yours sorted?

I'd suggest emailing Thomas from OEM Store and ask him. Pretty good service!

They have requested my vin code, so he's looking into it.

[Nackuk]

Okay they have now put the RHD beige one on the store for those who want one.

 Well it took a week to come. Today it arrived and tonight I've fitted it. Getting the window switches out is a bit of a pain. Any way Top of the world. Thanks for all those who helped getting this changed, appreciated. 

[Martin.S]

Any tips on removing the switches, are they all individual or a block? Think I will be ordering one of these - ordered now

They are a block, with a Stanley knife cut the outer skin of the door handle that's holding them in along the line of tags on one side. Remove that chunk of plastic. Now only held in by the three tags on the other side. And will realise realise.

 

It will make sense when you see it.
