Default Inside door handle,,, fix for your fingers

I will post pictures tomorrow but what i did was , i took AC ducting tape, u know the one that has the chrome on the back side, used for your AC ducts ,, I pealed the chrome off , cut the foam tape 1/2" wide ,made it 14" long but trimmed it to fit inside the door pull handle where the chrome always peels and cuts the tips of your fingers. now i put that tape inside bottom 1/2 of the chrome handle to cover all the split pieces that were trying to cut my fingers.
I had to remove it a few times to get it in the right place, it comes off easy and sticks the second and third times and more. i have had it on my car for a month now and it works.. i do plan to remove the door pull handle and repair it or have it rechromed.

I made new center caps for my car will post pic of that also.

An alternative is that there are LEATHER COVERS, custom fit for Crossfires available. They wrap around the handles, and attach to themselves with Velcro. 30 second installation, and they work great. We have them on two Crossfires.

Yea i know , we got a crossfire in the shop with those on it , at first i liked them , so i took them and put them on my car, after about a week i took them off, I like the chrome look and the leather does move around a little, so i tried it this way so far I like it and you can't see the tape.
Oh my cost was not $60.00 they do look good , just not my taste

The chrome backed tape cut a 1/2" strip and very carefully remove the sponge from the chrome , and place on the back of the door handle ,,you will need to cut to fit

looking down the door panel, u can see where the tape goes
