It was just gone. Was driving home from work one day, stopped at a 711 and that's what i found. Been at two Ram dealers and both places said the same thing. They won't cover cosmetic issue. Really??Wait what happened there ?
Thats exactly what they are trying to do. Door handle still functions properly. Its the cheap $5 insert that I need. IDK....maybe I just drive my 1.5 year old Ram around as is, and when people ask.... I just say AVOID the new Ram. Sad....I get all kinds of compliments on my truck. Guess not anymore.Sounds like they're trying to charge you for a complete door handle.
I did find a used handle online. Guys is asking $55 for it. Half tempted to buy and ripe off the insert. Maybe attempt to reapply to my truck???

It actually looks like it was glued on pretty well. You can see where the adhesive was stuck to the insert, pretty much all the way around, especially on the ends. My guess is that someone else lost one and they pried yours off after the dealer quoted them $400 to replace the entire door handle.It was just gone.

If you found a used one for $55 I'd jump on it. As long as it's cosmetically fine. Avoiding the frustration of fighting with the dealership is worth at least that much.
Also most junkyards won’t want to separate that stuff from a good panel. Might get lucky if they have a bad door but good handle. Makes the search that much more difficult. Please update us on what RamCares does for ya!solid guys! Thanks for the advice. I have reached out to most local junk yards and all have said they have nothing this new. Bought the $55 part. Will however reach out to @RamCares. Good stuff!

U don't think that rock auto has door handles for the 2020 m/yThey have a bunch of door handles at Rock Auto; though they don’t show the pictures or diagrams of most.
I’ve done it before, where I replaced a part, that would’ve been covered under bumper to bumper, because it was easier than bringing it to a dealer. Plus, I trust myself more than I do most mechanics there.
