Smile Re: 2005 PT GT convertible door handle peeling

Hey their dsmturbo,

Welcome to the Forum. Yes the door handles are the same on both the Vert, and the hard top PT's. I have not heard as of yet of any problems, but their is most definitely a first time for everything. My guess is that either the handle wasn't prepped right by Chrysler, or more likely something just got up under an edge, and compromised the under surface of the part. The handles are made from a hard Polycarbonate Plastic dipped in a thin coat of chrome so if the surface was compromised, it wouldn't take much to get them bubbling up, or flaking off, etc.

My best advice would be to definitely hit up the Dealer first for it being a defective part. If no luck their, I would then probably try hitting up a wrecking yard in your area and find one for somewhere around $25 - $35 and then if need be, I can walk you through replacing it.

If you have any questions, I am always around, and more than happy to help out.

Go easy,

Candyman
