Consumer Description

I NOTICED A STICK ON THE WINDOW FROM THE RECENT STORMS, AND WHEN I WENT TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR TO REMOVE THE STICK FROM THE WINDSHIELD, THE HANDLE JUST CAME OFF IN MY HAND. THIS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY. WHAT IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN AN ACCIDENT, AND I HAD BEEN TRAPPED IN MY CAR? SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGES AND THE PLASTIC CONNECTOR'S SHAPE PROBABLY DOESN'T HELP. CONNECTOR ISN'T DESIGNED WELL, IT'S CLOSE TO A 45 DEGREE ANGLE. SO, ANY STRESS ALL GOES TO THE SAME POINT ON THE CONNECTOR.
