Door handles and side matching
Door paddle handles are mounted on the latch side of the door, so the left and right versions are not interchangeable. Before ordering, confirm which side of the vehicle the door sits on and whether the door is the original steel style. Older Jeep doors often differ in latch position between generations, which is why matching the year range matters.
Once fitted, check that the paddle returns fully and does not catch on the trim. Handles on older vehicles can seize from road grime, so a light lubricant on the pivot helps. If the handle feels loose, inspect the mounting points and the latch rod before tightening, since over-tightening can crack the surrounding metal.
- Confirm the door side before ordering
- Check latch position against your generation
- Lubricate the pivot lightly after fitting
