USE CARE WITH A PILLAR HANDLES

[Peneumbra2]

USE CARE WHEN OPERATING A PILLAR (INGRESS?EGRESS) HANDLES(!)
They look sturdy but put a lot of weight on them and pull hard - the grips are only pot metal and will delaminate (break).
Never wiggle them back and forth - delamination will occur.
If you don't touch them at all, ever - they should be good for the life of the vehicle.

On my Zebra 71 they are bolted to the A-pillar so at least I can refasten them (had to do it a few times).
