Hi All
I have a problem with our new (to us) Prado. When I drive through a decent bump the grab handle near my head on the drivers side sneaks over and gives me a good smack above the lug hole. this can only happen so many times before the handle is damaged beyond repair. Can anyone suggest something to cover up the holes after I take it off? Is there a factory cover like the 79 series cruisers have?
Cheers Big Nick

I used to have this problem in Falcons. Seeing as how I used to do 80,000 k in built up areas per year I was quite concerned as to what would happen in a collision.
It is a big potential for brain damage.
Another one a lot of people aren't aware of is the post in the middle of the car & the bolt holding the seatbelt to it.
You should always position your
seat so your head is not beside the post & position the slide adjuster for your seatbelt away from your head height.
Better still, get side impact air bags.
