Will this handle work with my existing latch mechanism?

This is a direct OEM replacement for 09-14 TL models—it connects to factory latch points without modification. Test-fit before final installation to confirm alignment with your door's internal bracket.

Does this come with mounting hardware?

The handle assembly itself is included. Fasteners needed for door bracket attachment are not confirmed in this listing—verify your door's existing hardware before ordering, or contact us for clarification on bolt specifications.

What if the handle doesn't sit flush after installation?

Slight gaps can occur if the door latch is worn or misaligned. Check that all mounting points are fully seated and torqued evenly. If gaps persist, your door bracket or latch may need adjustment—reference your vehicle's service manual for latch geometry specs.
