    Door button shape

    I bought some extra door buttons so i can make a carbon fiber version. I noticed the shape from my originals is very different. Was going to offer these for sale at some point, but forsee a fitment nightmare. Curious what shape most handles are?

    Original "rounded" version

    Replacement "pointed" version

    Where did you get the replacement ones from? Those look horribly off.

    Dodge.... same part number too. Obviously a supplier switch.

    My car is a 2014. I am wondering if later models either have different shaped holes or ill fitting buttons nobody has paid much attention too.

    I had the recall done on mine - now I'm going to have to take a closer look.

    Just looked at mine - definitely the first, not the second. Mine is a 2013, and the door handle recall was done one year ago - last Feb 19.

    Yup. That's the type of variation that can result when you are cutting out components with a jigsaw.

    i don't even have to go out and check mine... as a matter of fact, i clicked on the thread to see if someone was bitching about it hahaha.

    mine look like the pointier ones, the OCD in me spiked when i first saw the car. I just assumed the whole hand built thing, and lack of funding for design revisions. i just call it CHARACTER now.

    Mid 2016 build here... normal shape handles.

    Out of curiosity, what finish was on the handle when you ordered it?
