Washed

Did you know it is actually illegal to wash your Grenadier in France? Quite large fines too.

I probably missed this in another thread, but you can please provide details re: the grab handle you installed on the drivers side? Easy to install?

I installed a matching Ineos drivers side grab handle short after picking up my Trialmaster last July (‘24) before the aftermarket had started producing them and well before most US dealers knew they were available.

It did the job, it was OEM, but it was pricey (prices early on were nutty for the bolt hole covers). It was good, but not great. The fit changed depending on the weather, there are foam inserts on the OEM handles that helped improve the fitment until the matching grey color turned brown.

I ran into these recently online and despite not having actual installed images on their website seemed a worthy addition. These are from Racefoxx and made in Germany. They are cast aluminum, cnc machined, and blasted smooth.

Shipping weight was a bit over 7 pounds so they come in at 3.5 pounds each. They attach with the original hardware which becomes invisible when installed.

The black ones are nice. The fit is excellent? Easy to install? You just ordered two of the same handles (drivers and passengers side are the same), correct?

Thank you for your response!

Yes, the driver in passenger side are the same because depending on where you are in the world market, they simply flip them over to install on the “passenger side” regardless of who makes them.

Installation was far easier than the OEM units and uses the same hardware. Of course, if you do not have a driver side OEM grab handle installed presently you will have to source the trim piece separately from Ineos.

I find the fit a better than the my Ineos OEM handles with fewer gaps. Keep in mind that airbags live under the trim pieces so there will always be some amount of flexibility and movement in those trim pieces.

I had the dealer install it for me. They ordered the European OEM grab handle kit which comes with the A-pillar suited for a grab handle installation (no cutting involved). I believe the OEM should be an easier installation experience if you get the full kit.
