The bumber to bumber warranty period is 3 years/ 36,000 miles. Unless you have owned the car more than 3 years , I would take it to the dealership.

Rep Power: 811 well it's cheaper with the link I gave. They have discounted prices. And yeah you need the whole assembly since the handle is part of it.

I am on my third one of those. I had one replaced at 17,000 miles then another at 34,000 miles just before my warranty expired. I am now at 64,000 and it is peeling again.
Same thing with the stupid A/C vents. I had those things changed many times too, they just won't stay where you aim them after a few months. Service Manager told me that is just how they are. I told him, go look at a new civic, the vents stay where you point them. Replace the Fu(king vents.

Rep Power: 811 The vents forget it. I've found that if you pull it out and squeeze it together really hard, it will stay firm for a while when you put it back.
Lol ^^ that sounded bad

Rep Power: 312 hehe just the vents.. wrap a flathead screwdriver in a papertowel and just pop the vents out.. then pop the adjustable part out.. then squeeze the "housing" a lil bit.. it should stay in place then... you can also put a tinyittybittylilbit of silicone in the peg holes for the vents.. like seriously just a drop.. you will have to fight with it the first time you want to move it but after that it will hold nomatter where you put it..

Rep Power: 811 so which ones were they? Maybe for the lx instead of ex or something. Which part number and what model car? I have an 02 ex sedan and they're chrome. Also I don't like that chrome H on the wheel.

Rep Power: 0 My 01 EX came with all black plastic handles. I believe all 01's did, and then in 02 the sedans got chrome handles, and in 03+ everything has chrome handles. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
