Grab Handle
A grab handle is a handle above the door inside the car that passengers can hold when getting in or on rough roads.
What is Grab Handle?
Most fold back up with a damper. Some have coat hooks. Curtain airbags run behind them. On some cars the handles are left out on the driver’s side, depending on the market and trim. Loose handles usually only need their screws tightened behind the small covers. Handles near the curtain airbag are designed so the airbag can deploy past them safely.
How it works
It is screwed into the roof frame through the headliner.
Why it matters for your car
Do not hang heavy items on it. Do not remove it near airbag zones without care.
