« on: January 02, 2017, 11:25:01 am »
Will the door pull handles from a four door fit a three door?

obviously only the fronts!

Just the metallic part that opens the door, I think so.

The front doors of a 3 doors car are bigger than the front doors of a 5 doors car, so door handles are different at least in the driver's side.

Also, a 3 doors car only has electric windows switches for front doors in the driver's side while a 5 doors car has electric windows switches for fronts and rears.

^^ not quiet accurate

I'm guessing you have a 5dr with manual rear windows?
The grab handle trim is the same size for 3 or 5dr the only difference is the holes for the switches. So the 3dr will fit the 5dr and is what's needed for the ones with manual rear windows

Yeah, I didn't describe the differences correctly.
The plastic trim is the same size and has different holes. Just the door's card is different and the armrest of the door is bigger on a 3 doors car.

Passenger's side, yes. Driver's side only if it's from a car with rear manual folding windows.
