Killing Team Doorhandle once & for all?

[Ed Kellock]

Exactly.  I don't see what the big deal is.  The problem with these
door handles is the trigger mechanism.  Sure, the handle is plastic,
but none of mine have broken and I've had one or another Coupe GT for
15 years.  Don't see the need for all-metal unless it has a better
trigger.  And who wants chrome?  That's not the theme.

To each their own.
