was pretty excited to replace my old latches and kit was pretty easy to install but thats where it ends my original locks dont work and passenger outside handle does not want to work very smooth at all I have removed and reinstalled a number of times now can't figure it out. driverside is ok wouldn't say perfect but does work. if i was not working on a finished truck i would weld back in the old latch plate and try new original latches overall pretty bummed
