Interior roof grab handles
Yesterday I picked up a 2017 R Design D4 having upgraded from my beloved V50.
In prep I’d bought the sunglasses holder to fit in place of the drivers grab handle but there’s not one fitted! All other doors have one but I cannot even feel where the bolt holes would be pre-drilled. Have any of you experienced this and do you know if the holes are pre-drilled? It’s a bit annoying as I find this a handy bit of kit, I can fit it above the passenger door but that’ll be a bit dangerous should the sun come out while I’m driving.

No fixings in the kit. I found info that suggests they can be fitted as some people had complained. I think I’ll wait til it goes to the dealer for the D4 recall & see if they can retro fit one. I’m not brave enough to mess about with cutting!!!

I think all they will need is 2 screws , a sharp knife and some finesse .:-)

If it was me, I’d have two of the things on your list :-)

I may give it a try as I’m hoping to fit a reverse camera this weekend so can try to have a look under the headlining.

Ditto! I can get a little impatient

I fitted a glass holder the other week to my 16 v40. The fitting was under the headlining and I made a template from the passenger side handle holes and used it to do the drivers side cutting. Worked spot on. I used 2x m6 bolts 10mm in length and fits fine. I was told that some later cars don’t have the mounting bracket welded into the roof for fitting but mine had it. I pulled the lining down first and had a good look and feel to make sure the mount was present.

I did pull the headlining down earlier today, before I saw your post. I definitely felt one bolt hole so will give it a proper go tomorrow when the weather is a bit better! At least I know there’s hope now.
I actually bought some M6 20mm bolts today for fitting number plates so will give them a try. Thank you!
