Carbon fiber door handle covers
Will the function where you touch the door handle to lock and unlock work with these?

It looks to me that the drivers door handle out of the 4 is the only one with openings in the cover that will allow access to the locking system. I would find that unacceptable as I like being able to open the car from all 4 doors...

on the GLE only the drivers door has opening for key. All doors have touch lock and unlock. That’s what I am concerned about.

it’s that little rectangle I am concerned about. The touch access on the handle itself. I had carbon fiber wrap on my old one and it did not effect it, but this stuff is a little thicker. Do you think it would make the car look cheap?

Your right, the touch point to unlock the door is on the handle, I had to go and take a look. My GLE43 is silver, and the carbon fiber covers wouldn't look right. If my car was a darker color I think it might look better. In my case, yes. I wouldn't put them on. But that's just my opinion....

I think you are correct about the looks. It’s the grey but I don’t want it to look cheap.
