ya i need one too...

 

+1. someone who has dealt with this should chime in, has been a pita for me too

 

lol I have a broken handle too.

 

im kinda confused at what this thread is about...im assuming "oh shit handle" means the e-brake handle...what clip are we talking about?

 

no man, the oh shit handle on the pass. side a-pillar. Mine is also busted.

 

ooo ok...i wish i could help, but i never had to remove it before

 

i had to install the bottom peice first then push on the handle to flatten it. Then attach it to the top clip... it was a major PITA but after many failed tries i was able to acheive victory. The clip cost me 2 bucks.

 

this. tried a lot. maybe using a blow dryer to SLIGHTLY heat it could make it more pliable?

 

I replaced mine not too long ago but i cannot remember how i did it. I went down to see if i could take it apart to see but i can't figure out how to get it apart without breaking it haha. Im pretty sure the clip gets mounted to the a pillar and then the handle slides over it then you clip in the top part.

 

I replaced mine a couple months ago and it was definitely a huge PITA. I first took of the broken clip and replaced it with the new one. If you peel back the rubber piece at the end of the handle, it should expose a metal clip. This clip has a groove that slides over the piece that directly screws into the a pillar. Granted this is a lot easier to explain than it is to actually slide the piece on. Good luck.

 

+1 Its all about pulling back the rubber piece like Robby said. That is key. I had to replace mine on my old N/A I used to have years ago.

Kinda funny, I asked the same thing 7 years ago - http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87906&highlight=shit+handle

74681-14010 Retainer, List 4.92 Cost 3.70
74682-14010 Retainer, List 4.92 Cost 3.70

 

well I might have fucked up...I put the top part on first and now cant connect the bottom of it..the top part snapped into place and I didnt want to break it to take it off again???????

 

anybody have the part numbers to the clips. my fat ass friend broke mine as well

 

I threw away my info but just call Curt at elmhurst toyota he got them for me and they are cheap..however you will probably need the whole handle...there are metal connectors in it and mine were bent as well as the clip being broken.

 

some call it the "Jesus Handle"

 

Mine was busted back when i had my MKIV, i wish i remembered how i fixed it. It was definitely super cheap thats for sure.

 

Mazx6: thanks

ima order them locally as i get a discount at the dealer

 

i wonder if anyone makes a high performance "oh shit handle" for overweight passengers:rofl:

 

lol i would buy one, some one bust out the old cnc machine!

 

I got rid of mine, If anyone wants it for free just pm me.

 

You don't still have it do you?

 

sounds to me like everyone here would be intertested if someone made solid aluminum one...easy mounting, no flex to it

maybe i could look into making one

 

thats what im talkin about lmk if u decide to do it

 

Mine is broke at the top. I ASSUMED I needed a new handle, so I ordered one. NOW, I see that I just need to replace the top clip.

So, I have a handle if someone needs it.

 

My clip and handle were both broken... pretty sure changing the clip required pulling the a-pillar off, and putting the handle on was pretty straightforward. Once you look at the clips and the handle adn see how they slide on it shouldn't be too big a deal. You push the curved handle flat to make it longer and hook on, then pull on it to put the curve back in and snug it up on the clips and it stays.

 

I just replaced mine last month with all new hardware.

Here are the part#'s if anyone is interested.

74610-24050-c0 grip assy list..cost $13.61

74681-14010 retainer,list.......cost $4.19

74682-14010 retainer list.......cost $4.19

 

where did you buy that clip? i need one for the bottom on my car

 

A solid aluminum handle? Sounds uncomfortable. Not sure what the big deal is with the stock one! Haha... come on guys, this is about the level of difficulty of an oil change. Wait, that one's easy for you, right?

 

oil change......thats the neon yellow stuff right ???

mine is broke and frankly, i just done care to fix it, i never notice that its not there, so why bother replacing it ???

 

im not grabbin it lol i like my stock but i would like to see what he would make. and yes oil changes are very easy i have no screws holding my spark plug cover

 

i got the clips and a new handle from toyota for cheap, easy to replace

 

havent had to replace mine yet, but i know i will eventually tho! looks like a Royal pain in the ass!

 

haha mine broke too

I replaced one of the clips and installed the handle without any problem

first you should just slide the handle on the lower clip

and than on another one

it was very easy guys

if you think your handle is kinda too short just push on it in the middle(it will give you couple mm) and try one more time

I'm just too lazy to remove my handle one more time to show you in pics

but if you still have problems I'll do it
