Refreshing the 60 grab handles (1 Viewer)

[jonnyd42]

So as of now these are still available. For my 62 with gray interior:

Screw: 93311-16020 (2x per handle)
Passenger & rear seats: 74610-10020-A0
Screw cover plug for the passenger & rear seat handle: 74617-14010-01 (2x per handle)

A-pillar handle: 74610-90K00-A0
Screw cover plug for A pillar handle: 74617-16010-A3 (2x needed)

For OCD's sake I used loctite 242. My handles were the original and pretty tired. The original screw cover plugs crumbled or snapped in two when I pried them out.

Check out the new vs. old A pillar grab handle. All my other handles were similarly worn and yellowed.

Did you do the rear hatch grab handle too? I need to do all of these. Thanks for the reference!

Did I miss the part number for the straight handles? I see the part number for the offset a-pillar handles.

Nice work collecting all the info!

wonder if there are threaded holes on the 60 series for the A pillar handles

Not yet - I forgot about it tbh! I should do that one next.

It's "passenger & rear seats" in my post. 74610-10020-A0

Alright I actually did order 4x of the straight handles! I guess I forgot that the hatch one is the same. So you can use the same part number and same screws.

Wondering the same. Would be nice to do this on my 60 if they are there. Anyone know?

Are US 60s drilled for those?

Mine had the threaded holes... easy enough to check if yah do or don't...

Same process as looking for the C-pillar trim when you're installing 3-point seat belts in the back: use a sewing needle or pin to find the hole. Then scrape along the inside edge of the hole to see if there are threads. You get the info you need and there's no damage to the headliner.

I checked my A-pillar yesterday, thinking I might like to put s grab handle on the passenger side for my mother, who is quite short. My A-pillars seem to have some thick padding behind them so I need to spend more time poking.

Rear hatch? That’s what mine looks like.

Yup. It was nasty. The others aren't much better, but I think they're less dirty.

So what is a good fix for a stripped screw hole for one of these grab handles?!? Tap new threads of rivnut?
