Default Chrome door handles installation problem *in need of help*

Those that installed you chrome handles, did all your rear door handles look identical? or was the pin that push the latch to open the rear door looks different. Well, anyways, i've installed the rear but now i can't open my rear door from the outside. And the worst thing is the child lock was on and i cant open from the inside. How can i get this fix. please help.

this is a known problem. on the inside of the handle, there is a black, circular plastic part that releases the latch. you can wrap some electrical tape to make the circumference larger.

do a search on this subject, it's common.

if you look at the oem handle, i believe this part is larger than the chrome version.
