Handles

I'd be ok with just using the steering wheel, its locked anyway.

I have asked IA to put this together as a kit that they can offer. The same with the rear handles that were on the PTO vehicles.

Fingers crossed someone does this, I’d definitely be interested.

Hi Stu , I am hoping you are successful in getting Ineos to put together a reasonably priced kit for both the drivers door and options for the 2 rear doors too. My 2020 New Defender has the rear door handles that look similar to the front pasenger handles in the Grenadier. They are so helpful for anyone climbing in and out of the vehicle. DaBull

I would find a handle in this position an awkward hindrance.
I just grab the gutter and leap in. No touchy steering wheel.

My method is not stopping stuff I did when I was 15.
Mostly I've kept up with my younger self.
If you don't use it you lose it

Passenger side Grab Handle: Part numbers and prices

Today I got the quotes for the passenger side grab handle. In my case (Germany) it is the LHD version. A quick response and a good service in this regard. I only got a screenshot which you can see below. This does not include VAT and sums up to 329,29€. Plus 19% VAT in Germany makes 392,60€...

Hi TNT, you may find more information in this thread

It has come to my attention that US dealers will not make opposite grab handle parts available (ie, in NA we cannot order the driver/left side handle and bits). They will not be stocked in-country because it's a part that LHD Grenadiers do not actually have. So, if that's the goal you might have to source internationally or hope that aftermarket comes through.

I was wondering, could we not just turn over the passenger side handle and mount it upside down on drivers side? Don't have a Grenadier to observe...

The trim itself is different side to side

I had a 2024 Defender 110 rental and it had no A-pillar handle. It had one at the top of the door opening, but it is useless. I found the easiest way to get in is duck your head and with a bit of momentum, heave yourself up and in. For reference, I’m an athletic 5’8” late mid-30s male.

Lets just tee up a swap, someone in US buy 1 and someone (me ) buy 1 in Aus. Then we post.

Companies may like boarders, but the internet dont work like that

I would be in but are other countries restricted from purchasing driver side handle Like US?

For euro-spec turn signals and shit that’s not homologated for the local market, I understand a manufacturer not making these available. I’m not sure I understand the same treatment for a simple grab handle. A short person (like my wife) is at a serious disadvantage in this vehicle as reaching the steering wheel or upper roof-line handle is a challenge. The four-door pillar-grab gives the shorter folks a lower and more visible target. It also provides options for getting out or just holding on when things get rowdy.

Why do you have the chile flag? It is not Texas.

We have a Dutch flag guy who lives in Spain from memory.

No idea, I have not tried to purchase. It may just be a case of thats a part we dont stock, but could order? (If we wanted to)

If I can order a bullbar from Australia, I'm sure someone could order some interior trim. Just takes a couple emails to find a willing dealer. Because it's a replacement part rather than an accessory they're less likely to have it in stock but worth a go if you really want/need the handle.

I would like to add this handle to the driver side. Has anyone done this? I could,nt find an existing thread…

Ineos did not add a grab handle on the drivers side due to Passive safety issues (There would have been a non Homologation issue and Ineos would not have been able to sell the vehicle). Please do not add this Handle to the drivers side as behind the A Pillar on the drivers side is an Air Bag. During a crash if the Airbag got deployed that crab Handle could become very dangerous and you would not be covered from an Insurance/warranty point.

Thanks for taking the time to post on the forum.
The photo below from @ChaosDogg shows the airbags on both door pillars. Surely if what you are saying is correct then there shouldn’t be any handles fitted to the door pillars ? From memory his is a RHD.

Wouldn’t the passenger handle be just as dangerous to the passenger as there is a passenger airbag as well? are u making stuff up?
