Hi guys,

I have a handle and the wedges from Jim Felder some time ago.  I have not installed yet but my driver has requested it.  Her short size makes the step a challenge and she pulls on the steering wheel to get in.

But, I noticed that after I got the used parts that GW now sells the wedges and the handle.  They also talk about extensive directions with the kit on how to do problem free.

Perhaps the directions include a video or are at least on the site. 

I hope that helps.

Driver handle on my  to do list.
