    Interior door handle trim problems!

    I don't know if its just mine or what but I have bought a few of these trim pieces and they always break, does anyone know of people that have made custom trim pieces to hide the inside of the door card around the interior door handle?
    Heres of pic of the trim piece that I'm taking about.

    Check the fitment of your door handle housing. If it's sitting wrong it could strain the clips and break them.
    The first car I ever rode in was an e30

        Also if you need new ones, they are $2.95 each on rockauto.com, cheap enough

            Proper door panel fitment is important too. There is a lot of "wiggle room" with the e30 door cards.

              Ugh I broke one of those when I put the houndstooth in. Luckily its in there tight enough to not look like I cracked it.
