Pardon my poor search skills, I couldn't find out which years, or is it packages, that have the interior leather door handles.

It's one complaint I have on our 06 430, the padded, rubber-like door handle. It looks so uninspired and not upscale at all. Then I realized some 460s have it too, but other 460s have the nice stitched leather on the interior door handles.

 

Could be worse...... you could have an '07 460 with the melting door pulls/panels!!!

 

I never heard of that. I did a search for "melting door pulls/panels" and this was the only thread that came up.

 

I've heard of what sktn77a mentions. There were some threads about sticky/melting armrests on some early model years. That and stiff, cracking rubber surrounding the moonroof glass.

 

Ft01, here you go. Post # 1. It's called semi analine leather upgrade.

 

Thank you, Ray!

 

OOPS. sorry I forgot the link. here you go.

I believe the official title of the warranty enhancement is "sticky dash and door panels".

 

Doooh, that's right, I remember the sticky dash posts. Fortunately I haven't experienced that problem.

 

Mine has the leather handles and I don't have the semi-aniline leather FYI, that may have changed in 2013.

 

Yes, they changed the panel materials for the 2013 model year. I believe it's "pleather"!

 

Yes it's pleather I'm sure. Still better stitched than not!

 

Yes, and pretty much anything is better than the plastic they used in the 2007!
