Drivers side grab handle found... (Left side)

Warner did mine
Not cheap but looks like it belongs and is fully functional.

Is Warner your local dealer. I want this look so is this just the pass side factory grab handle flipped and placed on the driver’s side? Assume they just drilled holes in the pillar for permanent attachment. If you don’t mind how much was the total cost? Thanks

The worse part of buying the factory unit is the cost of the snap in covers for the bolt hole recesses. Yikes!

100%. it suits the vehicle though. it will be the last thing I buy from a Bentley dealer.

We didn't have a dealer in NorCal until recently. I used warner in salt lake until very recently. They ordered the right hand driving trim pieces (eg the handle is on the left side for UK and Australia vehicles) and installed them, eg no cutting off existing trim. I talked to them last week and they said that have inventory in stock.

I’m gonna try my dealer first, but if they don’t have em in stock will call Salt Lake.

Agile grab handle. Install is simply cutting square openings into the existing pillar trim and couple bolts.

I've just ordered the parts to fit a driver's side (right side pillar) handle to my UK Grenadier and to my surprise the parts were actually not that expensive:

• Handle £104.06
• Upper screw cap for handle £7.49
• Lower screw cap for handle £7.49
• Right hand A-pillar trim for left-hand-drive vehicle £50.70

All of the above are plus VAT at 20% and the total comes to £203.69. Unfortunately all parts are on back-order with IA at present and no stock is actually available!

This is FAR cheaper than trying to import an Agile Offroad or other handle into the UK, and I don't think is unreasonable. The handle and screw caps are not handed so these are the same for a left-side pillar handle on a left hand drive vehicle, the pillar trim is the only part that is handed. I wasn't originally going to order this trim since I thought I'd cut holes in the existing piece but when I heard the price I decided to get one, so if necessary I can remove the handle if I ever replace the Grenadier with another one.

After all the hype about the screw caps being something like £80 each I was please to find that they are about one tenth of what I'd been expecting.
