It works perfectly. With the aid of a couple of blunt kitchen knives, I was able to prize gently the mircroswitch switch part from the primer coloured handle (into which it clips) and clip it into my existing body-coloured handle (having first removed the existing faulty microswitch the same way) so no painting was required. The handle sticks, as well as bolts to the tailgate. Remember first to remove the residue of the old sticky patch with a little acetone so that you get a good fit and adhesion with the new adhesive pad.
