Sorry if this has been covered I searched but couldn't figure out what exactly to call the item I am trying to find information on. My 2003 QCCTD has the same problem I suspect everyone eventually does with the plastic interior piece with grab handles attached to the A-pillar on both sides of the truck. The plastic got weak and broke. I pulled them off after much work and ruined two of the ridiculous nuts that are pressed into the A-pillar. Long story short the dealer had to order the plastic grab handle pieces. They had two replacement nuts in stock, but couldn't locate the bolts. Parts guy said maybe the bolts come with the interior plastic pieces in the package......

He did tell me however that the nuts are "Rib Nuts" he said they were kinda like rivets in that a special tool presses them in and spreads them so they stay in. Can anyone confirm this and advise if/where I can buy the tool.

Thanks,

TXPower
