Default Door handle

Howdy

I have a '96 F150 XL, and I've replaced the driver-side inside door handle 3 times in the last 6 months.

I really don't think it's the truck... I think it's these POS plastic replacement handles I'm buying. I bought the first two at Napa, and after the second one, I figured I should go someplace else, so I bought number 3 at Quest.... Broke!

WTF?

Is there somebody making a GOOD aftermarket door handle for this vehicle? Should I U-Pull one? Anybody else had this problem before?

Thanks

-Ben

I'd check and make sure that something isn't binding up in the door making it harder to pull the handle first. Then I would either buy one from Ford or a junk yard.
