Dorman 80994 Front Driver Side Armrest Repair with door release handle above armrest (27 inch) Compatible with Select Chevrolet/GMC Models, Black (OE FIX)

Decidí comprarlo pero por el precio casi me arrepiento luego de a verme llegado lo instale y fue fácil, me gusto la calidad afortunadamente lo adquirí por 95 dólares PARA UNA TAHOE 2013

Just had to drill out some plastic rivets on the inside of the panel, new one just bolts on, was concerned it wouldn’t match colors but it looks great! Feels great too, no more broken handle.

Everyone once in a while, you hit upon a really excellent product. This is one of those. It is a PERFECT fit for my 2012 Chevy Avalanche. The reason I need to order this? Because the OEM - the part that comes with the truck - is made up of several white plastic "rails". That's it. A bunch of plastic inside an armrest that is also used to close the door! This Dorman replacement part far exceeds the Chevy part. There is no comparison. Dorman is like it should be - the Chey part is joke. In future, when looking for other replacement parts - and I'm sure there will be! - I will look for name brand Dorman first. It just makes sense...

Installed. There is a bit of messing with it to get it just right, but all those various vehicles over that span of years had small differences. Once I got going, the instructions made sense, and it was fine. Probably best for someone with some confidence/mechanical aptitude, but it wasn't strictly complicated. The texture and appearance are excellent. The black color match wasn't exactly the same as the original equipment, which in my car was more of a very dark charcoal grey, but once it is in the car, you can't really tell. I can't tell you how pleased I was with this! So, to summarize: A major corporation that pulls in a good fraction of a trillion dollars each year (hundreds of billions) had a significant (although not safety-related) design flaw in their door pull for years. Everyone knew about it. Nearly every vehicle in this series would eventually have this problem after a few years. GM's solution? Buy a full door panel for hundreds of dollars. Don't provide a replacement part for a known design flaw. Oh, and that replacement panel? Yeah, it still has the same design flaw and will also fail in a few years. Why didn't they do anything about it?? Well, Dorman comes along (significantly smaller, but still a multi-billion dollar company) and finally does something about it. They take it upon themselves to engineer a REAL fix. An armrest/door pull with steel reinforcement that actually feels solid and secure. It's lovely. And, it's affordable! Everyone should buy this (if you have an affected vehicle). I have nothing bad to say. (For a vehicle that originally retailed for more than $70,000, I can't believe GM wasn't willing to put $2 worth of metal in the original arm rest.)

Aftermarket part is well built, not a quick repair, but a good repair for all those work trucks
