Will the handle be able to handle this??

[MirageHatch]

I want to replace my all black handles with the ones with the chrome strip along the top edge.

Can you remove the lock / IR sensor in my existing handles easily and transplant into the new handles?

Im going to source from a wrecker n need to know if I can interchange these 2 parts easily!

Love to hear ANY info ppl can share on this!

Cheers,
Ed

yes you can! I have had my chrome-top ones painted flat black and I did have to remove the IR senser and the lock cylinder on the passenger door.

their are two little pins that hold it in place - you take a small screw-driver and punch them out.

ya I like mine without the chrome. it takes a little patience with removing those pins .... not easy if you dont have a small screwdriver .

Mmm can you elaborate on how to do it? Thanks.

after your remove your handles, you will see what im talking about. its hard to explain but you need to hammer out the two little pins about 2inches long each and about 4mm thick, they need to be hammered out that way the IR sensor will pop out - same way the cylinder lock is assembled.
