Default R&R Grab Handle?

Just wondering if anyone's done this, and exactly what's involved?

Can't believe no one here's ever removed / replaced the grab handle?

While we're at it, does anyone know how the three A/C control knobs remove? I've heard there's some kind of push/turn/pull combination to remove them, similar to removing the light switch, but don't want to break anything

grab handle: use hands to pull the plastic trim pieces straight out towards the passenger seat. There's a phillip's head screw on each side, previously covered by those trim pieces, nothing holds the trim in place, just pull. use a screwdriver if you must pry; but be VERY careful not to damage your trim.


I only know how to remove the center, and that's for replacing the bulb behind the AC controls. Put it in center position, ( fanspeed 3 I think?) and pull directly outward.

Thank you

Reason I was asking, I'm trying to figure out how to mount an RSI Grab handle, which I believe mounts from behind. Just trying to figure out how I'd get to those screw holes from the back

Nope, they're black Torx screws, very long, very tight, very hard to unscrew.
