**I believe OEM handles are the way to go and they’re not much more expensive than aftermarket ones. What I found out myself and what I’ve read on Amazon reviews of these aftermarket handles is they don’t work as well as the OEM ones. What I noticed and others noticed is the handle sticks a bit and doesn’t always close all the way and sit flush with the door.
