S56-1042-601 | Genuine Kenworth® Side A-Pillar Grab Handle

Easier Entry and Exit:
Especially in taller vehicles like SUVs, trucks, or off-road vehicles (e.g., Jeep Wranglers), passengers can use the handle to pull themselves up or steady themselves while climbing in or out.

Improved Safety:
It helps reduce the risk of slipping or losing balance when entering or exiting the vehicle, particularly in rough terrain or slippery conditions.

Added Comfort:
Passengers can hold onto the handle while the vehicle is moving, especially in off-road situations or on bumpy roads, to steady themselves and feel more secure.

Convenience:
It provides a handy grip for elderly or mobility-impaired passengers who may find it difficult to get in and out without extra support.

Loose or Wobbly Handle:
If the handle feels loose, moves excessively, or wiggles when pulled, it may indicate worn or damaged mounting points or screws.

Cracks or Breaks:
Visible cracks, breaks, or fractures in the handle itself or the mounting brackets show the handle is compromised and might fail.

Missing or Damaged Fasteners:
If screws, bolts, or clips securing the handle are missing, stripped, or damaged, the handle won’t be stable or secure.

Unusual Noise:
Squeaking, rattling, or creaking noises when using the handle could mean the mounting hardware is loose or parts are worn.

Wear or Fraying (in Paracord Handles):
For handles wrapped in paracord or fabric, signs of wear, fraying, or unraveling can reduce grip quality and durability.

Handle Feels Weak or Bends:
If the handle bends under normal use or feels weak, it might not provide the support needed and could break unexpectedly.
