ABSTRACT:
A vehicle door handle assembly includes a mounting bracket and a handle. The mounting bracket is configured and dimensioned to be mounted within a vehicle door. The handle is pivotally coupled to the mounting bracket to pivot about a pivot axis between a latching position and a latch release position. The handle is basically an elongated member that includes a pivot portion, a grip portion and a counterbalancing portion. The grip portion extends perpendicularly relative to the pivot axis from a first side of the pivot portion. The counterbalancing portion extends perpendicularly relative to the pivot axis from a second side of the pivot portion. The grip portion and the counterbalancing portion are configured and dimensioned such that a center of gravity of the handle is located proximate the pivot axis.
