### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Worked great y
  

*by M***O on Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2024*

Bought this lock instead of metal because I read a review that the metal handle was too beefy to work with the pop lock. I fit perfectly with no problems. Same quality as original. Still plastic so I don’t know how long it will last. Should last long enough to get my money’s worth. Easy enough to install if it needs replaced again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Super easy!!
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2024*

I prefer the plastic handle because it won't burn my fingers like a metal handle after being in the sun.  And its less expensive.  This part is OEM GRADE, nobody will ever know it was replaced.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The perfect fit
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2024*

As expected was advertised as an durable plastic original equipment item and it was, a 15 minute job, looks and functions great. An affordable purchase, I recommend it. Oh did I mention speedy on time delivery.
