Handle removal

Post by Davsurfa »

Can anyone tell me how to remove the "Oh s**t" handle on the inside of the A-pillar?

Hmmmm I think the previous owner has glued the covers on mine cuz they won't budge. I thought that was how it was done but just thought I'd check before I broke something. Cheers

:lol:

I have noticed that some people used to modern tall cars can not get out of an MR2 passenger seat without that handle. Taller cars = weaker legs!

My handle gets regular use every time I enter a corner with some enthusiasm with my girlfriend in the car. As soon as I see her grab the handle I know I'm doing well.
