Was getting in the truck using the grab handle and the darn thing broke. I mean came completely off the pillar, the entire mold trim with handle. Turns out the post of the handle that bolts to the pillar is plastic.

In a search on the net for a new pillar trim mold I found this is/was a common problem and even led to numerous lawsuits. Well I found many sources for the new part and prices all over .

I then seen a item listed as new product. It is a grab handle repair kit. It is two metal sleeves (CNC Alum.) to fit outside and inside the plastic post thus creating a metal mounting post behind the grab handle. The cost was $25.99 so I ordered 2 sets. The kits arrived today and I already replaced the drivers side. Man what a difference. That grab handle is stout with NO flex or movement of the handle or trim unlike before. Yes, the trim mold and handle are still plastic in itself and probably still subject to break at some point. But I really feel this kit is a great idea. Just my 2 cents, may help one of you.
