Fit a flush/recessed interior handle to back door on tintop?

Post by Stig of the Dunk » Fri Aug 07, 2015 4:04 pm

Hi

I've searched the forum but can't find any info on this. Apologies if I've missed it.

Our tintop doesn't have a handle fitted inside on the rear door/tailgate and we'd like to add one. It would make life easier when camping.

Has anyone else done this already who could offer some advice please before we start? Ideally it needs to be recessed and not protrude into the rear vehicle space as we have a rock 'n' roll seat that reaches the back door when it's in 'bed mode'.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
