The tailgate handle is good quality, and I'm happy to have a metal handle in place of the original plastic handle, which I shouldn't complain about, since it lasted 30 years. The new chrome handle looks great, and the operation is smooth. There is one flaw on the upper edge of the chrome plating, but nothing that interferes with the operation of the mechanism, and my truck is not a show vehicle. I decided to not fool with 'cleaning up' the plated edge, as it could result in creating a 'problem' worse than the minor visual flaw. Overall I'm pleased with the product, and the vendor was good to work with.
