It does say so in their listing and to be honest I don't think anybody would go to the trouble of making non oem grab handles. Only a bit of plastic, I think I'll bite the bullet and get one!

I've had a driver and passenger side interior handle from them and they are genuine.

The handles are easy to change. The drivers door is easier to do from what I can remember as you need to remove the passenger door card as its screwed in from the back, or was I doing something else?!

Be careful when prising the old handle out as I pulled too hard and broke the wing mirror switch  :sad1:

Will get a couple of pics but it's not stopped raining all day . It's easy and if your trim is marked
It really smartens your door panel up again
