Has anyone compared various stainless door opening scuff plates to see which are the best? I see some are listed as official GM reproduction parts, but they neither carry a brand or logo on pack so generally just sellers adding that. But maybe there are some that are approved? I wouldn't be surprised if several brands use the same factory.
I have an unknown used set here that I installed nearly 20 years ago and fit was only so so but also feel a slightly heavier gauge than the new Corvex set I have here. I test fitted them to check a few details and noticed that one or two of the holes weren't perfectly lined up, opening up the screw holes a size may help there, but also, the countersunk dimple for the screw heads barely allowed them to locate or sit flush, especially for those off-centre and opening the hole up won't help the chamfer location. They are also soft enough that you could make them fit.
The problem is, until you have a set in your hand, many don't list the brand, and use their own part number for the shop, even though an identical part to the next shop with different brand and part number.
Anyway, more for convo than anything else, is someone making a heavier gauge and decent quality set lately? I also noticed, apart from the rivets in the early years, some emblems have dummy rivets dimpled into them. I can't recall if original stick-on had a dummy dimple or just plain, they may be just to represent the early version when they weren't available with the rivets. They are now, remind me!
