The part is OEM and replaces the broken part effectively, you have to watch the hinge pin doesn't fall out when fitting as it's a loose fit. It's ok once in the housing of the handle. This pin needs to be loose as it is the corrosion in this area of the hinge pin that eventually causes the part to break. The overall fitting of the job takes about 45mins if you're a first timer.

The problem is that the original design of the product is faulty as was the OEM part. As this part is identical to the original, the problem will occur again because the hinge pin is so small and designed to move within a tiny die-cast part. Cold weather, dirt and road debris will make failure inevitable unless it is regularly lubricated.

Replaced my daughters broken 2010 Fiat 500 door handle with this one. Fitted well and has been in regular use for a couple of years now. Good product.

As anyone who’s had / has a Fiat will know little things will break and my drivers door handle was literally hanging off, so this piece of kit was perfect and affordable. Did the job and my handles like brand new :)

Surprisingly easy to fit; there's a you-tube post showing how you do it.. I found that it was posible to get the broken hinge out of the door handle without removing it from the car, using a cross head screw and a 1/4" spanner.. I used a dental mirror to see what I was doing... I had taped the jiffybag which the hinge came in to protect the paintwork from being scratched by the tools! I was also able to put the new hinge in place this way too [I used some masking tape to retain the hinge pin] and found it easy to put the hinge in place, having removed the old part from the door. ##On our 500, apart from T20 [30?]screw behind the 'chrome' [haha] door handle and two behind the little bit of trim, which pops off from where you grasp the door there were NO screws holding the trim on the door, which there are on the one in the video.. So I just prised off from the bottom, removed the handle and wires as in the video, and pushed it up and it popped off! I cut away a small part of the white internal seal and used a 10mm spanner to remove the nut. All done in under a hour.. Semples.. Ideal product.Read full review

Quality part, easy to fit by watching YouTube video. You don't have to buy a complete new handle, just the hinge part for about £7. If you are careful and have a Phillips, Torx or Allen "bit" you don't need to take the complete handle off to fit this part. Mine took about 30 mins, having done this first one I could do another in 20 mins easy.

The replacement appears to be from the OEM, fit perfectly, and was easy to install. As a bonus, it came with a grommet for the door opening rod (which opens the latch when the handle is pulled). This rod has come loose 3 times (requiring the door interior panel to be removed to re-connect it), but fits tightly now, so I repaired 2 problems!

Seems odd that I had to order my part from an overseas store. Was a little reluctant but it wasn't an expensive purchase so thought I'd give it a try. Item arrived quickly and is better than original I think. No instructions came with the new hinge, but with youtube I was able to get a great video on how to disassemble the door panel. Was done in 15 minutes. Good ebayer and good product. Don't hesitate to purchase from seller.

Good quality genuine part but pricey compared to the aftermarket stuff. Is it better quality. Don't know.

A good product that saved the cost and extra time it would have taken to replace the handle. The pin in the hinge kept slipping out when I was fitting it.
