Outside Door Handle

This next-generation injection-molded PA 6 outside door handle features a unique, multifunction slide-lock chassis design in POM (previously done in diecast zinc) that improves handle assembly to the chassis at the OEM plant and improves bezel and lock retention to the chassis.  Additionally, a 30% increase in strength was measured in the abusive pull test vs. the current design while also reducing weight 3%, reducing rework at the plant, and reducing piece costs by 40%.
