   I ordered these because the OEM cable holders completely failed, could not open the door. The image is exactly what you are going to receive, so with that in mind the slot on the product is not wide enough to accommodate the cable. Additionally, the shaft portion is no where near wide enough to accommodate the vinyl sheath of the cable. In order to install them and have them work properly, the end needed to be drilled out to a hole large enough for the cable, and the shaft needed to be expanded by nearly 3x it’s gap to install on the sheath. On the plus side, it is made of metal (instead of rubber like the OEM holders) and I expect they will last the lifetime of the truck, I should never need to replace these again. The piece that mounts to the latch fits tight and once installed takes some force to remove, so they are not just going to pop out. I still highly recommend them, however purchase them knowing you will be doing some modifications to them to make them work. I gave them a 4 because I had to do some pretty extensive work to make them fit, if they were an exact fit without any modification they would easily be a 5+

   I used these to repair the cables on the rear doors of a 2001 F150 extended cab and they worked great. 4 are needed for the repair of the 2 cables in each door.

   These were ordered because the OEM cables pulled through the door handle on my Mazda B4000. The image is exact. The installation was quite a chore. I removed the upper and lower door latched to clean and lubricate. That is when I realized the unique one was specifically designed for the upper latch. The items must be installed completely over the vinyl sheath of the cable end and they are very, very tight fit. The lower cable end snapped in place on the door latch perfectly. The upper cable end slipped in place once it was aligned on the door latch. The door handle is where the work got complicated. The door handle is riveted in place and I didn’t want to drill out and replace the rivets. The repair would have been much easier if I had. The original cable ends were held in place on the door handle with guillotine style clips. The inner wall of the door covers the inside of the handle so opening the guillotine style clips was accomplished with a scribe from the outside. Each cable end had to be held in place while I blindly performed MacGyver style maneuvers to close the guillotine style clip using a hooked scribe. Once closed the cable ends were held in place just as the originals. I was able to complete the repair without drilling out the door handle rivets, but it did take time and unusual dexterity. I should never need to replace these again. The other door perhaps one day in the future. Purchase these items knowing this is not just a simple snap in place. You may prefer to drill out and re-rivet the door handle in place to access the guillotine style clips on the inside of the door handle.
