Default door pull handles

Okay guys/girls---I've used the search function but I haven't been able to find a suggestion for padding the door pull handles. I keep hitting my funnybone on the sharp plastic edge when off-roading.

I'm sure I'm not the first that this has happened to. Does anyone remember any prior threads about it or have suggestions? Thanks in advance!! HBC

Rugged Ridge makes a neoprene cover; it's a set for the door handles and the grab bar.

One of the other women here made a leather cover for her grab bar, I'm sure that could be adapted to your door handle.


Edited to add link for the neoprene covers at Quadratec's site. I think they are the only sponsor that carries them.

Misch is also making a product that attaches to provide a padded armrest for when you are in your Jeep. This might work for you.

Default Thanks

Thanks! That's exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for. I would like to see the padded armrests when they become available.

I know it sounds whimpy, but as I'm aging I'm finding that I try to eliminate as much unneccessary pain as possible. HBC

I have a set of the Misch Rests up front and they work really good.

Default leather wrapped door pull handles

leather wrapped door pull handles by Startech (Brabus subsidiary)

To bad I would have to bring my JK to Germany to have it done... I keep on looking for a local leather shop that can do it.

maybe you need an elbow pad....

Sorry I know I'm not helping....

But the seat belt thing may be worth the five bucks to try it out....


Do you have an auto? I don't remember hittin' my funny bone, but maybe I did and I forgot... I did hit my head when I raised my seat, once, but know I don't.....
