Sagaris Rear Hatch 'Handle'

[T-Burn]

I was at my local dealer the other day, looking at an '06 Sag, when I noticed an aluminium 'handle' on the rear hatch, for lifting the glass (it was just above the finger cut-out in the body). I haven't seen this before. Does anyone know anything about this (i.e. is it standard fit on later spec cars?). I would like to try and get hold of one for my T350.

TIA

Me too, it's a pain when trying to open it. A handle would be the ultimate refinement.

They became 'standard' on the later cars, and were available from the factory through the dealers for about £85 for retro-fitting. With the current factory situation, i wouldn't fancy your chances of getting one direct, however these may become available from DJC. Have a look on the other thread :- www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?t=345443&f=7&h=0

Hope that helps

Thanks Paul, that really helps. I will speak to DJC (already after a rear badge surround which does not corrode!)

Had one fitted on my T350C when bought from the factory. IMHO should have been fitted to them all. I am going to see if I can get a badge surround made from the same stuff.

Hi chaps.

Dont worry we are on the case...and on the case with the badge surrounds! Playing with tooling and jigs and chatting to a cpl of manufacturers as we speak.

Mine came as standard on my new Sag (55 plate). Then again, my Sag was originally intended for export to South Africa so it does have a few little extras.
