Title: Remove Interior Grab Handles
Post by: glasgowdubber on March 10, 2016, 08:12:56 am: Passenger, & 2 Rear (5dr)

I've read many posts regarding this, however none relating to the actual grab handles themselves. I'm trying to replace all grab handles, trim, and switches in my car. I've managed to successfully do the drivers side, however I've unclipped the outer trim from the front passenger, removed 2 T27 screws, however I can feel screws, screwed in from the opposite side.

Do I really need to remove the full door card to replace these?

I know what you mean! Is it a T20 & T30 I need? Anything else?

I did mine on Monday & there were 2 screws to remove on the inside.
