I've had mine on for a year. Really hard to pull to unlock the doors. I have cleaned and oiled, but still hard. Few times I had to roll down window and open from the outside. I just found the answer...will take some pictures and post this afternoon. Best, Mark

OK here go's. Yes the factory inner door handle to unlatch has a lever or cam action. So the factory added an extra spring to the lever action so not to easy to open. Now using a GT style pull only and not having that lever action I just cut the end off of the secondary spring. In the bottom picture the little spring on the right is the one used for the outer door handle and now is used also for the inner GT pull....Works great, reduces the hard pulling by 2/3rds which seems just right. After the spring end is cut off, the remaining part of the spring is left in acting as a spacer (second picture). That simple answer took me two weeks to figure out, good thing I don't do this for a living. Best, MarkAttached Image Attached ImageAttached Image
