I just finished replacing my door handle carrier today, took about 1.5 hours thanks to PersonaNonGrata's DYI here:

Mine was a non-OEM one and while it works okay opening the door... The door handle does not come back to the "flush position" once you let go of it. I am fighting my internal demons right now to order a OEM one and redo the whole thing. Serves me right for trying to save a couple bucks when I knew better not to.
