Subject:Step was:DRIVER SIDE GRAB HANDLE
From:Eric Caron
Date:Fri, 28 May 2021 20:22:20 -0400

OK, thanks. 

I was confused as the subject was driver’s side handle and there was no older message for reference. 

I’d love a description of what they did in the Samba thread. 

I’m having trouble picturing this, but a step in would make my short driver very happy.
