Realized yesterday that the passenger and driver handles are interchangeable, if your outside handle breaks where the arm connects to it just take the handle off and switch it with the passenger side, they both have the "loops" and so both sides will work great!!! Good luck .....

That is correct, they are made to inter-change, but I will keep a spare on the shelf instead of screwing with the other side.

But that is a good tip, if your drivers side breaks, don't throw it away, keep it for a spare passenger side.

Also if you get a used handle, get a donor unit from the oposite side you are replacing.
