I've bought reproduction door handles for a 73 Nova. The book stated that they were OER but we did have some issues with getting them on correctly. I've noticed that on of the handles is now scratched up a lot and is discolored. It looks kind of like how oil looks on water. To make matters worse I noticed today that this discoloration is now running down the side of my car. It's on the paint and won't come off.

Has anyone else had this problem before? I'm just wondering if this is a common problem or not. Any suggestions? I've looked for some NOS handles but can't find them anywhere. If anyone knows where I can get some please let me know.

Thanks

Hi Red04Cobra,

I bought some new reproduction outside door handles for my 74 three or four years ago. The vendor I bought them from had two offerings, "imported", and "made in USA".

I got the USA ones and they were manufactured by Trim Parts. They fit perfect and the chrome finish still looks like new.
