On target here, the replacement part appears to be the same one as the original. the clip lasts a few months and you are back. I suppoe there are too few of us to get the part redesigned. I had planned on wearing them down with repelcements, it's not worth the time.

One cable tie in a figure eight is a permanent fix.

: I pulled off the rear inside door trim, fabricated a retainer for the pull-ron from 3/32" steel welding wire and two zip ties. Looking at the construction, I would guess that any dealer repair won't last, as they will just install a new plastic arm, which is not a great design.
