The 82-92 F-body factory door handles suffer from a few problems, one being that the handle return tension spring often breaks which gives a floppy, rattle prone door handle.  If left in this condition long enough, often paint damage will occur to the door skin.

 

The handles are also notorious for coming loose from the door due to stamped steel nuts the factory used to retain them.  Those nuts can only be tightened down a limited amount before they will strip the mounting post of the handle. 

 

These new flush fit door handles are CNC machined from 6061 billet aluminum and 304 stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance. Additionally, I designed these door handles to eliminate the small return spring that is found in the GM door handles which are prone to breaking.  By doing this, the handle relies on the much stronger and robust spring that’s built into the factory door latch mechanism.
