I've seen a few variations of the sliding door handle around and decided to create my ideal version. The handle scoops are deeper for better pulling ergonomics, and the additional leverage makes it easy for my kids (5 & 6) to open the door. I added a hanging hook for trash bags, keys, etc. The material is glass-reinforced nylon for ultimate durability, and the pivot point will be reinforced with a steel bearing, giving this a lifetime warranty.

Ram ProMaster Sliding Door Handle Upgrade (2014-2023)

This ProMaster sliding door handle is a direct replacement for the small and non-ergonomic stock handle. The additional leverage and deep finger scoops make for easy opening and pulling of the sliding door, especially for passengers with limited hand strength and dexterity (i.e. arthritic hands...

I'm not sure seeing kids opening doors of vehicles is a selling point. Some of us don't want little kids opening vehicle doors so we use the kiddie locks.

Very nice! Please post again when they're available on Amazon.

It's a priority for us personally for my kids to be able to exit the van by themselves in case of an emergency. Otherwise, the handle is more ergonomic and way easier to open, and the added hook feature is a nice bonus.

Several of us have enlarged ours and are pleased with the improvement.

Good idea Arvin!

 

[Boondogger]

Looking forward to putting one of these on my van.

 

[mckennachristo]

Very much looking forward to these. Might have to grab these + the LED kit you do all at once.

It makes a BIG difference! Here's ours:

Thats a cool solution! So you used the original handle, diagonally sliced off the top, then the wooden part straddles and completes the handle via epoxy?

Yes, I've seen some cool solutions.

Mine has one screw through the original handle. It had to accommodate the swiveling cup holder, which itself is insanely useful.

What price are you looking for?

Super cool! I hope you sell a ton!

Exactly. It's a two-piece plywood sandwich to make cutting the straddle-slot easy.

I encased the complete otiginal. I learned that 3/16” Lauan fits perfectly into the recess, so insets for each side are fastened to the external ply. That’s how one screw can hold the entire assembly.

Make it a two piece kit... Make a matching "Slam Shut" door grip.

I might make it a bundle with my door stopper since it's also about the sliding door

Based on my manufacturing costs, premium materials, and secondary process to insert a steel bearing at the pivot point, I'm aiming for sub-$50....maybe $45
