Received and installed - they work great! Had some plumbing ABS glue around the house, and it's really easy to work with in this application because the parts fit perfectly. Just want to point out a fitment tip for anyone who (like me) has existing plastic so damaged that you have no idea where the old hole was. There's a tiny lip on the door-handle part that aligns with the ABS of the Hifi cover you are reinforcing. You can measure down from that lip to the hole (in the door handle) with a ruler or caliper to get the height of the hole - it's maybe 3/8" or 8 - 10mm, IIRC. For the left-right position of the hole, it's really important to know where the HiFi panel should fit so that it's snug and so that the lower part lines up well with the flip-up cover. Given the padded nature of the door card, I didn't trust this to a ruler so I put a piece of electrical tape vertically on the door handle so that the edge of the tape half-covered (i.e. centered over) the hole. Then I pushed the HiFi cover into place against the padded door card until I was happy with the fit, and then lightly scored the ABS at the top with a razor in line with the tape-edge, and that gave me the left-right position. Drilled the hole based on this the final fit was perfect! So tight!
