What is the technical name for this handle so i can describe the part and order it? Thanks for your help in advance!

 

Handle grab?

I need to get one for mine as well... mine's shifting around everywhere

 

Neal,

It is called the Front Pillar Assist Strap and it costs ~$12.

You can find it at www.parts.com and if that is too hard to find.. just go to the dealer.

That handle thingy is still brand new on my car.
No purpose of using it.. seriously
You gotta lean forward to grab that thing

 

Soarer_25GTT, the handle is designed to lay flat and pull out so it's easier to get hold of, so if that's the "shifting" you're referring to, it's normal

 

It's referred to as the "Oh-$hit handle"

 

Madmax,

HAH

Yeah it is. But if you are holding onto that handle while someone slammed the brakes...you will probably do a faceplant on the windshield.

Call it whatever you wish. It's purpose is to help you get out of your car.

 

those are handle bars that exists in most 'sports' cars. I thought it was for the lateral G's. Help you hold on during those tight turns around a track.
I pulled mine too hard trying to move my car once in the garage in neutral (too lazy to find key and start the car) and it came loose. All it is is like a screw that holds in the bar so too much force will damage it.

 

No, I mean that when you pull on it to get out of the car, when you let go it slips off... so I haven't used it for a while :P

 

hell, i always thought it was just for helping you get out of the car. i just pull myself up with it when im getting out, otherwise i dont touch it, heh.

 

that's my "mom's handle", everytime she rides with me, she stays attached to it from the time she gets inside all the way until we arrive to our destination the interesting part is that I dont really drive that fast with her in the car, but she says it "feels too close to the ground" heheheh

 

Chicken Bar.

 

sweet deal. thanks guy. Um yeah my 260 pound brother pulled himself or at least tried to by using that handle and you can imagine what happened. ohh well. 12 bucks isn't bad at all i'm quite supprised. Thanks!
