Repop exterior door handles

pntastar69 said
Picked up a repop'd set at Carlisle from VansAuto for my 69 Dart. Said it'll fit 67 - 72 A bodies. Installed the pass side and it would not sit flush w/the body. Was able to rock it up and down. Bolted it down and there was a gap on the botton and the gasket would not seal correctly. Actually pinched the gasket so bad on the top it protruded out. My original handle sit flush. Looked at the castings at the rear of the chrome button compared to the originals and they were off a lot.

Called Vans and sent them back for a refund.

Everything you said is the same as mine. I am not as patience, as some, so as far as the not sitting flush in the door I found a small notch on the bottom of the repop and I filed, very little, the bottom notch at the bottom of the handle hole in the door and they fit right in. I was really pleased with the look and quality of the handle then I shut the door and the push button and it would not open.
