just curious if anyone on here has attempted to buy the new passive entry handles and used a Dremel to cut out the square and then swapped the hardware into the textured black handles. Also has anyone had any issues with the dealership revoking their warranty bc of this?
Since I had to get my box of parts down for something else, I figured I’d check out the handles. Provided the textured black ones are two piece like the painted versions, there is one small torx screw (T-8) which you should see if you pull out on your factory handles. Take that out and the cover pops off pretty easily.
The PE handles appear to use the same screw, without pulling it out of the door I can’t confirm the other end doesn’t have anything different.
You would need to cut 2 holes in your original covers. One for the button, and one for the pickup for the magnet in the cap.
If you have the time and patience to make 2 square holes, you might be able to make it work with your original handles.
As for the caps, if you take them apart and they have the little slot like in the photo below, you should be able to move the magnet from a set of caps that has them into your existing caps.
