it is a 12 inch ruler. The start of the handle (from the back of the sliding door) is 9 inch. As Mark said, it is a Vanagon grab handle from the passenger door. The handle is slightly geared towards the inside (follows the top of the window seal) but apparently it does not interfere with the opening of the sliding door.
