Where best to order driver side assist handle?

[Boardmember]

This is literally a great <$50 mod. I will use it. And yes, five minute install.

I put mine in about 3-4 weeks ago...

I didn't use it the first week (because I forgot it was there) but now I use it every entry and exit because it's there.

Mine was $50 from the dealership but I used the $100 shop-click-drive coupon so I got a ball and hitch receiver while I was at it.

"Shop-click-drive coupon"?

 

There's free money out there?

[cbrsilv15]

Yup. Got mine for free that way.

Mine was $48.50 from my local selling dealer. Install time was around 10 mins.

So how exactly does this install? Looking at my 17 Sierra it looks like the entire A-pillar (long piece) has to be ordered as there is nowhere for the handle to bolt in. Anyway I ordered it from the dealer because I would like to get one, and they said $72 + tax installed so I said yep go ahead and order it. The provided part number early in this post was $35 + $17 shipping to me, to I'm fine with paying the dealership $72 to order and install.

 

When it comes in I'll report back if the correct part was ordered, and we'll see how this installs without replacing the entire A-pillar plastic thingy lol.

Oops I didn't see this post prior to my posting. But I just ordered through my stealership as well $72 + tax installed. Can you post a pic of yours?

The whole piece must be replaced. There is one clip in the center of the pillar that must be removed. It simply slips on, and tighten 2 bolts. Then snap on two bolt covers.

That's how I was expecting it to come but the pic I saw online only showed the handle so I was like, hmmm no way lol. Thank you!!

It takes under 10 mins to install.

[gtbigup01]

So my dealers had me go in Saturday for the assist handle install. After 1 1/2 the come and said my truck is ready.....BUT, they apparently ordered the wrong handle since there was a lot of space on the sides after the install. They said maybe they ordered the handle for the Canyon. Like REALLY!!!???? So I wait again for the "correct" handle to come in esshhhhh.

I'm only doing it for balance with the right. At 6'3" I don't think I'll be using it!

So at 6'3", you step in off the step rail and if you're not careful you find yourself in the passenger seat?
