Supplies


Get 2 - 1/4-20 Drywall Toggles with Bolts (see pic), Vise, Hack Saw, Chainsaw File and Screwdriver that Matches Toggle Bolt, Alex Plus or Similar Silicone.

• If your Pull Handle Has Not Pulled Off yet it will.

• This method is Cheap & Maintains the OEM Look.

• I used a Bench Vise to Hold the Handle Mounts while I sawed - Too hard to Saw and Hold at Same Time.

Top Tab - Saw (Hacksaw) or Break off if not Already Broken - Both Sides

Bottom Tab - Saw Half Way Off.

Using 3/8" Chainsaw File Make a Round Groove in Mount (see pic) to Fit Bolt

Fit 1/4 Toggle Nut with 2.5" 1/4-20 Bolt.

Push Toggle in Square Hole of Door and Tighten Bolts

Put a Dab of Silicone in Bolt Cover and put on.

10 Minute Task

**Use a Washer in Spring Loaded Hinge to Hold it open while you work.

Good save!

Mine won't fall off. Para-cord handles held on by threaded steel tabs now...

...But I was told it's a useless mod and there's nothing wrong with the OEM.

I was so close to getting Paracord but a tan one was hard to Find. That’s when I looked into this.

I just made my on but I might redo them in the future, paint the cover plates to match the headliner.

Tru dat. I used soft Jeep grab handles when they used to be like $10 for the pair on Amazon. Then got hardware from Home Depot.

I had no idea it used Drywall Toggles.
Paracord or Plastic both Work Fine.
