With some of the same doubts you have, I installed the $28 one last fall:

JP Group Dansk 1188103180, 251-837-502-A-M350 https://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/smart/more_info.cgi?pn=251-837-502-A-M350

So far, so good, but it's the passenger side so doesn't get as much use.

One issue on installation: there was a stamped depression in the sheet metal that the original didn't have. This resulted in the door sheet metal bending into it when the upper mounting screw was tightened. I don't know why they did this. I pulled it back out and reinstalled with a washer or two in there to fill the gap, and was then able to properly tighten it without bending anything.

Alex
