OEX has always had pretty fair prices, and Andy or one of his cohorts have always taken very good care of me. If you can't afford their prices, you may need to make your own handles.

Broke my original handles and replaced with oem. They broke less than one year later. The diy ones I've made have lasted months of heavy use with no signs of giving. Pvc, cord, drill, hacksaw and your done in 15 minutes

I did exactly what John is talking about a few months back, the front handle on my Outback was hanging on by a thread or two. After talking to Roby he gave me the DIY idea and let me tell you, it was extremely easy to do. I have everything that I needed so it cost me nothing to make.

Here's what I used

3/4" PVC
old hoop net rope
hacksaw
drill

that was it............Easy Peasy Japanesey

Holes can be patched.... What Malibu do you need a hatch cover for?
