I have recently purchased a 2020 / 70 Plate Tekna from a dealer.
I mentioned to them about getting a grab handle installed on the driver's side, they told me Nisaan don't do one.
They advised that I should try a Car mobility provider, but I have not had much luck.
Anyone come across this? Is there another methold of getting one / A third party etc...
Thanks

Hi mbaks7 & welcome to the Forum. I am not really sure of the reason for your request whether it is convenience or a Disability problem. I could well be wrong but I cannot see Nissan Producing 2 Different Side Panels for LHD & RHD Cars, so I believe there are Fixing Holes behind the Headlining. Now whether you want to investigate further is naturally your decision. If you feel the Fixing Areas with your Finger you will find a couple of depressions where the fixings are.
RH Side Passenger Grab Handle (LHD) : LH Drivers Side LHD : I went through this problem with some Older US Friends a few years back who had Big US SUV‘s and Side Steps and the Problem was Entering & Exiting (Mobility, Disability & Age). In the end they bought the Handles or Swivel Seats similar to what is attached and were happy with them for a minimal Outlay. You can buy Grab Handles, but it is just the Fixing of them to the QQ - how and where !
Hopefully this information was of some help - Dave

Thanks DaveBerlin, Previous vehicles I have owned in the past had the drivers grab handle, I don't have a disability. Its just become a habit when I drive I am reaching out to grab the handle every now & then (if that makes sense)?
My father is a mechanic, he told me to just get one and he will install it for me, I just mentioned to him now the drivers handle is not avaliable, he said just get the front passenger one.
DaveBerlin - appreciate your help.

mbaks7, I would personally as your father mentioned buy a Nissan Grab Handle so they match and look the part. Get him to have a look if he feels there are screw holes behind the Head Lining - Dave

As Dave B commented, highly unlikely LHD & RHD had different apertures for the grab handles.
