2nd Gen Grab Handle Re-assembly

scvscions · 11/18/2009, 11:46 AM

Kind of tricky. To remove use a small flat screwdriver and pry the two plastic push clips out then squeeze the metal clip and pull out the handle:

To install, start by removing the metal clips from their spots (this is harder than it looks)

Insert the clip into the grab handle from the back side

It should set into place like this:

Insert the push pin:

Do the same for the rest, it will look like this when finished:

Then push the grab handle into place and you're done.

If you've ever taken these apart and then tried to put them back you know what a good DIY this is

Yeah, getting them out is pretty easy but putting them back in is not so fun. Got bored waiting at school for the girls one day and to them apart. Took a little while to put them back together with only my keys as tools.

I just remember when you did Phil's. You were working on it for so long just to find out it was upside down.

thanks for reminding me. And to think that it's so easy to install. I guess I have to think inside the box
