Symbasys Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Some lovely person in the Target parking lot decided to slam their door open into my driver door handle, taking off a good chunk of paint. I ordered a set of the Ford OEM replacement chrome door handles. I was amazed at how easy it was to install them! I had all four replaced in about 10 minutes, and that included having to go back in and find the correct size Torx bit. Installation goes like this: Pop off the black plastic plug on the inside edge of the door next to the door handle. Insert a Torx T-25 bit into the hole and loosen the screw (the instructions said to use a T-20, but for some reason I had to use the next size up.) Pull on the door handle and pop off the end trim bezel. Pull the door handle out and toward the rear of the vehicle until it pops off, then pull straight out to remove it from the door. Install is the reverse of removal. So simple! And it cost way less than having to have the door handle repainted.

Rockballer Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Nice it looks good. I was thinking of ordering them up. I didn't want the cheap plastic covers that went over top of the stock ones. What ones did you end up ordering up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbasys Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 The set I bought is part number 9T4Z-7822404-AA (shows fitment for 2009-2010 models) and runs around $65 for the set of four handles with bezels... not bad. I bought mine on eBay from a seller called "dealerconsignments" and had a very positive experience. I had tried the chrome covers before I bought these. Don't waste your money. They fit poorly and look cheap. I sent them back for a refund. OEM is definitely the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sajid.ali Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 @symbasys, u have made a very good deal, i have checked with local dealer here and he quote around $425 for a set of four (4) handles and Bezels. This is too much, i have search a lot on ebay but these are not available for Edge- 2013. Still looking for it............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockballer Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Buying from the dealer is a total waste of money. Wouldn't recommend anyone to buy direct from dealer. Even with the sale promotions, your still over paying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Are we sure that's all they fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbasys Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Are we sure that's all they fit? Couldn't say for sure. I doubt they would work in the newer models with the passive key, but maybe they might fit older models. You may have to check the part number with the dealer to see if they fit other years, or be a guinea pig and order them up to try them.

sajid.ali Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Is there any difference between Door handles of 2011-2013 models and 2007-2010 models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Maybe you can post the question to Benny under the Levittown Ford thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car1958 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 How much would it cost for a reputable body shop to do this? How much for the OEM handles (Std on the Lincoln) plus the labor? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
