Looking far a strong above door interior handle

Hi

Some passengers are complaining about the absence of an interior above door handle.

Anyone fitted such a door handle?

Information apriciated as I planned to remove all interior due to sounddeadening / isolation fitment and like to do this mod in the same time.

Q.

Fitted perhaps not the optimum way. The headlining and door seal get in the way.

I took the headlining off and used one of the holes for the existing headliner fastner and drilled a new hole
into the gutter for the other fixture.
I fitted with a bolt and some wide washers down through the gutter. Then put thr headlining
back on followed bu the handle plus washer plus nut.luckily the bolt head didnt spin and I could
tighten the nuts.
not great cosmetically but helps herself to climb in.

I used one from a Fiat Uno, I had to cut the roof lining little bit so I could get the handle flush with the roof frame, drill 2 holes and screw it in, works perfectly, the wife is very happy now.
