Very nice, did you get that from the dealer? Was it hard to install? I like it!

Thanks 1st amg!

I bought it from Ebay Germany, it's quite simple to install.

To remove the existing one, you just need to twist and pull simultaneously (quite a bit of force involve). To put the new one on, you just push it in.

Thanks cls55 for the removing instruction!

It looks like the flap handle in a DC-9. Really though, it looks like mine in my 1014. I'm confused. Is yours an earlier model year?
