Interior door handles awkward to grab

[garryjohnson]

To be honest, other than an initial "wow, that's different", I don't think I've ever given a second thought to my door handles. They work just as well as any other vehicle I've ever owned, maybe even better than some. They work-enough said.

To the OP: I have a friend with MS, and he has difficulty grasping straight, flat objects. He finds "loops" a lot easier to grab and hold onto... If a that might be easier for you as well, you might consider fabricating a leather loop (or similar material of your choice), and attaching it behind the "removable" portion of the door handle. Might need to replace the factory screws with slightly longer ones, if they're too short to properly engage.

But, before I would so that, I would check your cab vent to see if it's obstructed. That vent is behind the rear seat near the bottom. Since you say it's easier with the windows down, would leaving your window(s) cracked open be a possibility? Maybe with the vent covers, if you're in a rainy area? Just a thought...

PS - sorry you're catching so much flak... Sometimes we all "say" things online we would NEVER say to someone in a face-to-face discussion. Unfortunately, that's the nature of the internet.

I've had no luck finding a bottle that fits.
What is the exact RTIC bottle that you're using?

Thank you!

20oz fits in there perfect, snaps right in. I would assume the 16 would as well. Tried the 26 to start but I couldn't finagle it in there with the door handle being in the way a bit so I had to return those for the 20oz water bottles.

I kind of like the design, it seems to prevent some heavy handed people from slamming the doors.

Maverick truck thread must contain at least 2 of these 5 items:
Water bottles - check
Food - check
Complaints - check
Salty personal attacks - check
Meme-able photos-check

Being able to vary your grip is nice. Sometimes it gets old gripping it the same way all the time. Try it from the end, or even upside down. It'll feel different and bring a whole new sensation to... (ahem) Closing the door.

May have gotten off topic there for a second.

I think you are on the wrong forum

It amazes me what people will find to complain about...

And yes, the post with "artwork" was priceless... Great example of a picture being worth 1,000 words.

Just getting the Maverick is my complaint! Now sitting at 506 days since order placed. At least it has been built and is now in the United States (Phoenix, AZ).

Not really digging the door handles. Not sure why they cut them off. Awkward to grab and the leverage to close seems off.

If you think “Dave” was actually trying to establish which handle I was using, well then…………………………. You can finish

Another comedian huh!

Well then what. I think it was a legitimate question.

Because I still can't figure out the physics around the door pull that would cause the issue you're describing. If anything the door handle has more ways to grab it, not less.

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?

It took me 52 hours to realize you were referring to the unlocked padlock and locked padlock symbols as I was focused on the yellow capital A and B in the picture. FYI when I get out of my mavs in my garage I use the release lever and grab the end of the "doiturway" handle with my thumb between the two left most pair of screws and my index finger along with my multifunction function finger providing pressure to prevent thumb from sliding off. See pic of properly open doors.

Been driving the Maverick a lot lately delivering griceries for Wal Mart which requires a lot of getting in and out. I find I get the Door ajar message a lot. Not really digging the door handles. Not sure why they cut them off. Awkward to grab and the leverage to close seems off.

I don’t like the interior of the doors either. Handle too short, I can’t get my coffee tumbler in there, wont even allow to put my ice scraper in there. They’re a lot of little things ford did or left off the Maverick that I hate. But overall I like the thing.

I think they used a slim fast water bottle as my coffee tumbler/handless mug won’t fit and it’s a standard 20 oz cup like you find Walmart etc.
