I'm looking for a right hand side A pillar and grab handle in very light beige colour for my 2015 D40.


Right hand drive trucks have these fitted on the passenger side (left) so I'm assuming a LHD truck will have the right hand side items I'm after.


So, anyone in a left hand drive country who has access to a breakers yard or similar please advise if you can source one. I'm happy to pay reasonable postage costs etc.


thanks

the early UK RHD D40's had these also, but seemed to have lost them over the years. I cant say for sure, but pretty certain colour and form hasn't changed from day dot and not changed during the facelift.

Would it be worth having a look for the nuts before buying a handle?

Thanks to all who replied.


Now sorted.


Viaduct auto Spares in Chesterfield. ( 01246 273 706 )

Very nice and easy to deal with. They sent me photos to confirm part and colour etc before agreeing a very reasonable price (£24) for the trim, handle and 2 bolts.


Very easy job to do,



Pull back door rubber seal
Remove lower trim (dark grey colour) 3 push fittings that just prise out

Remove / prise top of A pillar trim (push fitting at top)
remove / prise centre push fitting (half way down trim)
lift lower portion of the trim (near dash side) up and outwards.


re-fitting new trim and handle is a reverse of the above then screw home to 2 handle retaining bolts once locators are sucessfully alingned in the 2 holes on the a pillar.


Job done.


It's now easier to pull my lardy squirrel into the truck.

I never reilised it had been removed from later models
My 57 aventura has it as standard
Unless its a spec thing? Ive noticed alot of lower spec later year navs seam to be missing some basic features that would cost more to redesign parts to not have them than it would to just fit them

I had a friend who worked for Toyota in the dying days of their local manufacturing here. Sometimes it can be as trivial as the grab handle factory couldn’t supply enough to meet a production run, so a particular production lot (not even an entire model year) may miss out on something that was never advertised as a feature.

Guessing they were just saving a few £'s/€'s. My 2014 V6 for example didn't get the coin tray thing in the centre console even though it was top spec (£37k all up cost).

Coin tray? Is that the cup holder type things next to the handbrake? Or the little square thing next to the gearlever? Cos my 57reg didnt get that one either
