Front door and pillar grab handle for all Vanagon.

Sold individually.

Note: The aftermarket grab handle has smaller screw holes than the OE version—you may be required to drill out the holes a bit to accept the old screws. If you need the wedge bases and screws, check out our Wedge Base Kit. If you need just the screws, a good size to buy from your local hardware store is a 1" - #14 Philips Pan Head Self-Tapping Screw.

Wedge Bases: In most cases, the original wedge bases that this handle sits on can, and should be reused. Replacement OEM wedge bases are not currently available, but our Wedge Kit for the left-hand side of the van can be used in a pinch. However you will need to drill new holes, and the old mounting holes may be left exposed.

Perfect replacement. Wish I did it a long time ago because they're vastly cleaner and in better shape than my old ones.

Easy Install - '86 Weekender

Installed both in less than 15 minutes, no need to enlarge holes, used the existing hardware. Out with the old, in with the new. EASY!! The original door handles had become very crumbly and ratty, one of those little things that just bugged me every time I drove the van.

Perfect fit replacement

I bought two of these to replace the original grab handles on the front doors of my '85 Westy, which were deteriorating. These perfect fit replacements are easy to install and make my doors look/feel like new again.

High quality

A bit redundant, but again a product that looks very original, but also seems to of high quality. It is a really easy and inexpensive way to help clean up an old tired interior.

Perfect Fit

Having a driver side grab handle is sooooo much better than not having one. Installation was very easy and the template was perfect. Take the time to line up the holes properly and you'll get a solid, perfect fitting handle. It looks like it was always there!

Vanagon Door-Pillar Grab Handles

Decent product for non-OEM replacement of missing/trashed/broken grab handles - Including or linking required screws would have been helpful.

Hi James! Thanks for the feedback. We have now added info to the web page on the required screws. Cheers!

Perfect for passenger pillar

After a lift was added it was awkward to get into the beast of a van. Using this and the wedge kit was a night and day difference.

I have a two toned 1981 Vanagon GL (Brown & Crème). Will this work for this year & model? The pics seem to show a handle that looks much newer (smooth instead of rough).

The grab handles are compatible with your van. They work with all 80-91 Vanagon. They slightly textured like the original, but they are an aftermarket reproduction.
