Yup mine have been in for a while. Perfect fit. I won't have to worry about them breaking.

Here is the way I installed mine. Only took about 8 min. Im sure there will be several ways in install them but this was the easiest for me.
First I got a dowel pin or a drill bit that was 1/8 (.125) in diameter. Doesn't matter what you use as long as it can take light tapping from a hammer.
Place the dowel pin or drill bit over the expanding pin inside the hinge and gently tap the expanding pin out. I did this with everything attatched to the window. You can also take the latch assembly off and do this away from the glass.
The expanding pin will fall out the bottom, so be sure and catch it or watch where it falls.
Do this procedure on both expanding pins. (one attach to handle and one attached to door.)
If you forgot how they go back on or your broken piece is too unreconizable, the smaller end goes into the slot on the door and the bigger end goes into the handle slot. The hinges will only go on one way, so if it doesn't fit, flip the hinge around.
This pin may need to be crimped a little to get it to fit into the new hinge (plastic is forgiving, alumminum is not)
Once you figure out which side is which, place the expanding pin back on top of the hole and gently tap back in. Watch your fingers!
Once the pin is started, you may need to move the hinge around to get the holes to line up, then tap the pin in flush.
And repeat for other side.
Remember, there are no passenger/driver side pieces. both are identical. So flip the hinge around until it fits both slots.
Now you will have no worries when passangers open your windows!
