I fail to see how this will help, but you've peaked my interest and I'm willing to give it a try...

Are you certain that’s “mustard”?

It is a door handle like none i have used before. But it works ok and I have used worse. A grab handle on the A pillar would be more useful but I dont know if that can be done with the side airbags we have now.

Too bad. I was ready to see someone try and upgrade their XL/XLT exterior door handles with body-colored ones from a Lariat.

How does a grab handle on a fixed A pillar help close the door?

There is a vent behind the rear seat make sure that's not blocked.

It dose not help close the door, but it would help my 80 year old father get in the truck. I close and open the door for him most of the time.

Please tell the forum which handle you are using to pull the door shut in the picture below:

anybody else notice that the emblems on the unlock and lock buttons look like a large lower case a, and the lock one looks like a smaller upper case B?

I forgot to mention it's only effective if it is Bertman's Original Ball Park Mustard - looks like you've gone with yellow mustard and just created a mess for yourself!

I hadn't until now. And now I'll probably never be able to unsee it.

Dang, I knew I was doing something wrong!
Do you think Grey Poupon would work?

If it's good enough for those crusty old gents in the Rolls I'd imagine it would get the job done for the Maverick!
