Hello All,
I am restoring my interior and am looking to replace my inner chrome door latches with new ones and wondered if anyone has had success using aftermarket parts. I'm curious what experience others have had with regard to fit, operation, and finish.
I found two companies on eBay. Central California Distributors(aka cencaldistributors on eBay) and Car Custom(aka customania1 on eBay).
Thanks!

Thanks. Any suppliers that anyone recommends? There may not be many aftermarket companies that make these, but is anyone familiar with the aftermarket quality?

My guess is they all come from the same place. Have not seen the quality. They assemblies are from VW 411/412

356 devotion makes a very nice replacement. Those are the ones we sell and have not had a problem
