    I got mine today, too. Thanks VXFan, you're a real Mensch!
    I know you believe you understand what you think I said; but what you fail to realize is that what you heard is not what I meant.

    Y'all jinxed me. I never had a problem with the door handle slipping off my fingers ... till I read this thread. It's happened twice today already.

    Thank you so VERY much.

    Me too tom4bren, I prolly never had this happen till i read this thread. now my door handle is slippin outta my hand alla time. This week en I'm gonna go to home depot and get some regular cabinet door handles and drill holes in my door handles and mount them. I'll post pics if I like it, gonna see if they have cabinet handles in kaiser silver.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    Think I'll go the simpler route ... cut up an old innertube & glue rubber to the underside of the handles.

    It's either that or eat a popcicle before I get to the VX.

    Installed mine yesterday, leaving the "high grit" option - great stuff! Many thanks!

    Got mine about a week ago. After a quick rub on the concrete to knock it down a bit, they are PERFECT.

    Many Thanks!

    Talking People People

    1. unlock the door
    2. put finger tips under the handle so that fingertips touch the top of the handle
    3. lift

    I shudder to think what would happen if a Jeep site got wind of the fact VX owners can not open their doors. Not too mention how it looks on the FBI profile of VX owners. We be riding the short bus for sure

    Lift denotes up pull denotes inward push denotes inward.

    I'll see ya in summerschool 'cause lift implies an unsupported raising action whereas the door handle on the VX is hinged implying a rotational manipulation. That is, the door could opened by either pulling outward or upward on the handle.
