I have had my handles changed but I had the dealership do it for me. One hour of labour for them with the right tools vs. 3 hours of me fussing with it. LOL.

Did you have to source the handles yourself or did they order them in for you? How much did it cost for it all?

For sake of ease you could always do this:

08-10 Kia Forte Chrome Outside Door Handle Cover set: eBay Motors (item 220589419638 end time Oct-11-10 04:00:18 PDT)

I ordered something similar to these on eBay but have not installed them yet. Just curious... are the chrome handles on the Canadian Fortes stick-on like these from eBay?
