Driver's door handle key cover

Has anyone seen an identical driver's side door key cover used on the passenger side? Factory matched paint?

don't quite understand your question, but they all come factory painted and the door handle for our cars are used on many nissan models. e.g. nissan quest minivans.

edit: they are universal for front door, rear door, passenger or drivers side.

any of you know if this is easy to install? i've heard that it doesn't "click" hence, not a perfect fit... want to share your experiences?

not correct. it slides forward and clicks in to where it meets the handle.

Mine didn't "click" when i went to put it on. On the inside of the cover you can see some rubbing on these little plastic tabs that stick out like 2mm. I just used my dremel and sanded it down little by little till it fit just right with the "click"

there are two ways to put it on. you can remove the lock mechanism through the plug in the door above the catch mechanism, or use a pick tool to remove the original by pulling the door handle open. i did the latter.

pull the handle open and shove a towel between the door and the handle. you can see where the escutchen clicks onto the base. i took a 90 degree pick tool to lift the clip and remove the cover. the new cover must be slid forward from the rear and pushed in to clip it to the base. you shouldnt have to dremel anything.
